OK we all know the search function on this BB software is not great, as it only distinguishes single words, you can't specify phrases or use a 'union' operator...

BUT there's a new problem which appeared around the last downtime event when we were all RWG refugees for a couple of days.

I used to regularly use the search function, to seach for posts by my own username. The search by default should put the most recent ones last, and this I found was a great way to stay on top of threads that I was commenting in.

For some reason, since the last downtime event, that no longer works. Even now when I search for posts by user "replin" I get at the top of the page threads I haven't commented in for months. And I cannot find threads I posted in just the last week.

This is massively reducing the amount by which I'm able to contribute and/or enjoy the forum, as I keep losing track of which threads I commented in and they just die, even if someone's replied to something I said and I would normally respond further.

Is anyone else having this problem?
