Stabilis -> Search Feature Issue (5/21/2013 21:19:35)

quote:

Time Filter-This lets your choose the amount of time to search in. This is good for letting you find posts in you know where post within or before a certain time. Can really narrow down the search field sometimes. The All Topics Option pretty much tells it to ignore time frames


I have an issue with the search feature (I always do), but could someone explain please how the time filter is used correctly? When I change the setting from "within" to "before" I get the exact same results.

When using the "search" feature, you're allowed two options.

  • There is the simple search which can efficiently help you find a certain topic within a forum or sub-forum.

  • Then there's the advance search which includes the Time Filter.

    The time filter works in a unique way and can get a bit tricky to handle properly.

    For a better detailed guide on how to make the Search Feature work, you can check out the

    In order to show you how to use it, I'll use the "AQWorlds General Discussion" board as an example:

    Say I wanted to find the thread "Religions of Lore" and I'm absolutely sure that it was created at least
    7 days ago.

    Thus, my search would look something like this and my result would come to this. As the thread was
    posted about 18 days ago, if I had used the "within" option, the system would not have recognized it and
    it would look something like this.

    Hope this helped~
