Marcos, I disagree.

Using the advanced search
in the for sale forms
for "Slash"
with at least 0 replies
in the last 2 weeks
Results - No match found.

When I did this search there was a new thread started today that contained the word in the thread heading and the thread body this should have been found.

Instead the word has to have been posted in a thread prior to about 8-4-2010 in order for it to have a positive hit in the search.

Very very frustrating. This has not been fixed yet.

This search situation is pretty ridiculous. I'm going with "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" approach. Let's start calling, and stop waiting.

It is pretty bad. I tested it by even typing in the exact thread, nothing....

If they did, it didn't turn up any good results. I tried to search LOSI in advance search 2 weeks and newer and also 1 month and newer and it came back "No Results Found, Try Fewer Terms"

I tried searching "stators" yesterday and there was one right on page one of the ads, but my search results failed to find it. I'm sure this is not the only site they manage, but I would think it would be a rather large one as far as user base and traffic. Has anyone followed up with them on this?

The only way I get it to work well is to use advanced search, show dates descending, and put my search words in parentheses.
