Hey there,
it looks like the search is limited to posts like.. I don't know .. 30 days ago in time? Even if you set it to search for "Any Date" it still can't find posts older than a certain date. If you want an example, try searching for "babbot". I was looking for my own release post and I couldn't find it.. I went back to the old manual way of going back in time in the threads list and I managed to find it and it's still there.. so it's either not in the index or there's some kind of filter on the date/time. I leave it up to you to further investigate as I can't do much anyway 
Thanks! |

I was trying to find anything to do with a playercreateinfo creater to save me time as I remember it used to be all over the place, but failed to find it and resulted going through 32 pages of emulater questions manually.  |

Just add: into a google search |

Just add: into a google search | I do that when i need to search frequently, but it would be nice to have the feature above integrated into the actual site. (Not the Timer! That's understandable.) |

Edit; to those of you who complained about the minimum character limit in searching. That's forced by MySQL. We can change it, however, it would lead to quite irrelevant search results. (And people abusing the search system [hence the long flood timer on searching]) If the need arises, we can look into it more, but for now, a minimum of 3 characters is plenty.
