I just tried to run a search and discovered that it would only offer a window of 30 days worth of posts as an option to search. If it is going to be that narrowly confined, the search feature may as well be removed.
The functionality of the site seems to get worse with each successive period of downtime...

If you need to save bandwidth or something, please let us know. It's frustrating to see changes where we don't seem to need them while other problems exist. Search is a great feature, but limiting it to 30 days makes it nearly worthless.

And, Strider, thanks for providing the link to Ron's Tips. There really should be a link to it on this site's webpage.

But we are talking about using the site's Search feature. When you try to do a search, it will only give you a drop-down menu choice up to 30 days. Used to go back much further.
And didnt Preferences let you go back a year before?

Isn't that expecting a bit much? Seriously, they are great tips and I got tired of opening a second browser window so I could find a tip to link for people.

LOL......M1, right after I made my post, I saw what everyone was talking about, so I hurried and erased my post thinking no one had time to see it and answer it. Looks like I was wrong there...lol
I don't recall, but I believe preferences did go back a year.
Sorry I pulled my post so fast. I didn't expect an answer that quick this time of night.

Yes, both the search and preferences allowed you to go back one year. Actually, the search claimed to allow a search of ALL posts, but the archives had been purged to just the past year. That by itself was frustrating because there was lots of good stuff lost from back in the beginning...one of the other sites I am on (and that is far more active than this site ever has been) is archived back to the beginning in September 1997 (a total of more than one million posts).

But I no longer can even find the actual email addresses of the owners?
Wonder if site was sold over weekend.
I loved to go reference some old posts in drilling.
At least they could have warned us this was coming! So we could print out articles we referred back to!
