The old software allowed searching for "new since your last login", but now when I select "new posts" it looks like it only shows me posts made today.

How is this supposed to work now?

You're lucky, When I click on it it just sends me to the search page. I know we're in the construction phase but so far I like the old set up better

Actually it seems to be set to the "since last login" setting.

What I want to know is how to get the old "last 24 hours" search of all forums. Even though you can set it for any lookback period you want, the way it is now it wants a word for search criteria. This is a pain and incomplete. :confused:

The new searchback setup is great as you can set it to go back any length of time you want (i.e. it's not limited to "last 24 hours"). The problem is to use it, you have to give it something specific to search for. You can't have it just give you all the new posts like before.

I hope Paul can fix this.

I guess if enough people holler for the feature maybe Paul can get it in there for you. The link above will work in the meantime ;)

A better fix would be, rather than reinstate the "last 24 hours" setting, just make it so not putting any "Keyword" in automaticaly searches all forums for the searchback time specified. Or put in a "Search all forums" (non-keyword) option.

It's not an option without doing some code hacking, PhatBasstard - the search routines aren't built to work that way :(

I did try playing around with wildcards on the search page and had limited success - but I believe the minimum search length here is three characters.

Thanks Allan :) I'll get that link in the header one of these days :D

Thanks guys. I'm sure I'm not the only one that appreciates this being addressed (I'm just the most vocal :p ).
