Forum search doesn't return anything more recent than 2013

Wasn't having this problem last time I searched, maybe it's on my end, but every time I search, the most recent threads are always from 2013 or earlier (and I've checked with generic search terms that should have plenty of recent hits)... so I've basically never found what I was actually looking for :bleh:



Anything similar for anyone else?

Search has been pretty poop for a while with crap results. I just use google and just toss in a "rage3d" with the query or use site:rage3d.com
 
Not able to replicate. Can you give me an example of a search term that isn't giving current results?
 
Hmmm..... maybe it's not? Radeon only turns up ones from 2013, but I had tried several and though they were. Intel turns up one from 2015 and creative turns up a few from 2014/2015. Maybe that's not the issue then.


I think the search is still borked if it's getting so few from relatively generic terms, but yeah, seems like if it was an issue, it's passed. Maybe I was imagining things or maybe I picked a handful of unlucky terms.
 
Radeon is a very common term here (ATI, Nvidia, GeForce are other excluded search terms), so was previously excluded from search requests. I'm not sure this is a big issue, performance-wise, so I've removed the exclusions for now.
 
Try searching the last post in Ascending order rather than Descending order and report back...

Edit: Ah nm, Lupy had the term excluded

Very pre-Lupy. Ratchet enabled exclusion so, since he's much smarterer than me, you can expect R3D to implode shortly due to unintended consequences.

:lol:

But it will certainly explode in style and much awesomeness
 
I wonder how the exclusions work.... cause searching radeon still got 3 pages of results, but almost all of them were pre-2010 :bleh:
