Hey, is the Archive Search broken? I'm trying to find the thread where hondaciv predicted "cash for clunkers".

BTT I am a bit fucking pissed. I haven't had any luck searching the archives for quite a while. I am a fairly advanced computer user, so this makes me feel like an idiot. I can find my thread on the google, but it is missing from the search and archives. Since I took the time to post quite a few photos of my project, I would kinda like to find it. It doesn't appear in my subscribed stuff either. Can we possibly have a google powered search engine or something that works????? /still love this place......

Can't even find my own stuff in archive. |
Or there haven't been any threads in the past year about Pmag's. 
that was my way of testing.

I think the problem you guys are running into is that a lot of the forums have threads that haven't been moved to the archives, but aren't picked up by the 3 month search limit.
For example the AR-15 Magazines forum has live threads back to 7/31/2008. I don't know why but let me ask and see if I can find anything out. |

I've been a paying member for the improved search feature, but it still sucks. |

I can find a DEAD link on the Googles, but it sure aint in any 3 month search limit boolshite................. 
http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=1&f=134&t=867328 So.......now I finally found my thread. The search engines suck ass. They should work like the google..........I shouldn't have to have any specificity to search for a known topic that is somewhere on this board. And now I am really pissed. The FUCKING chocolate chip cookie in the fucking shower thread is still floating about, but I can't resurrect my thread from April with my August updates. I can't see any way to edit it or bump it. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!111!1!?//??// (I work in a similar field, so it wouldn't seem right to not be abusive in an IT unfuck request...........  }

The shower cookie thread is floating around because it's stayed an active thread, your thread in question was inactive, got picked up by the archive engine and was archived. Archived threads cannot be posted in or bumped. I know that it doesn't do you any good for that thread but if you or anyone else has something a similar type of thread that's going to stretch out over a long period of time the moderator fo the forum can set a switch that is supposed to keep the thread from being picked up by the archive engine and will keep the thread live in the forum. A thread set that way will just fall to the bottom of the forum. I've used it a couple of times and so far it is working. |

Quoted: The "three month search" should be a "all active thread search". The great search black hole between the three month limit and the archive server is ridiculous. There shouldnt be a black hole anymore. The system is all automated and runs nightly to grab things that belong in the archives. |

Great news.
It's been a PITA trying to find threads that are too recent to be in the archives, but too old to find with search. |
