Is search via username broken?

This used to work fine but the last few times I have used it going back well over a month now I always get returned no results even though I know I have posted. I do 99% of my posting in memory and storage so I tend to only select that forum but as you can see from the screenshot below I get no results. Am I doing something wrong or is it broken?

It looks like maybe the "Find Posts From" filter is not working? If I do it using 'Any Date', then everything shows up, even your post(s) from today, but I filter for a more specific period of time then it gives zero results.

Searching via username works fine so long as you don't combine it with a date range. It's a known issue with the search backend we use; it's date-stupid and has problems with that. Not much that can be done about it, unfortunately.
 
1 thing I do not like about search here is WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR NEW ACTIVITY OF THREADS YOU POSTED IN SINCE YOUR LAST VISIT,they are not all together @ the top like they should be!!!! (On most VBB sites they are)

All should be BOLD meaning they have NEW replies!!

Notice the thread "WHAT ARE YOU DRINKING TONIGHT?" in my search IS BOLD but the 2 under it ARE NOT and then another BOLD one....... It does not list them IN THE RIGHT ORDER!! (Kind of a pain)

"KEEP A WORD DROP A WORD" should be THE NEXT ONE under "What are you drinking tonight?"


Would someone please look into this?? (I have noticed it since I first sailed ashore here)


Thank you......

Again, the search backend we use is somewhat date-stupid, which is why the results aren't in chronological order. At this point it's not something that can be easily rectified, and just as well, because we need to get off of vB 3 anyhow.
