    I am looking for a post that I wrote a few years ago. When I went to my Profile Page and clicked on "See All Content Posted by Paul Masson", I only get 189 results out of the 3000+ posts that I have made.

    Is there a default date setting when this search is performed?

    On Page 10 of the results, there is a link to Find Older Messages. Each time you click that, you get 10 more pages. I think the max is 10 pages at a time. :huh:

    You will need to perform an advanced search to find older content.

    Click on the search box to perform the advanced search

    [​IMG]

    Enter your username and click on search.

    You may want to narrow the search by forum.

    I have a few hurdles to clear and hopefully have a better search solution in place.
