Search Age Suddenly Greatly limited

[fibonaci]

As recently as a couple weeks back my Search function returned some entries (although I couldn't always download them because they were too old) as old as 1200 days. I uniformly got 800 days of listings. Now after an update, my search results range between 110-200 days at the oldest. I noticed the number of results returned is capped at 2000, but I can't find the setting for that. What has changed? This isn't the wonderful Search function I've been paying $15 per quarter for over the past several years. Help!

Update: Get [22:32:30] ERROR Resolver: unable to open Source Data file when I try to check the age of my downloaded headers for various groups. I'm going to try redownloading headers and see what that does. I never noticed my headers didn't transfer with the update from V5 to V6, as I usually just use the Search function to snoop and scoop. But the Search just isn't what it used to be.

Search is the same as always. You only get 2000 hits per search. It's been that way for a long time too. You have several ways to focus the search.

1 - Use a more detailed search string

2 - Select the groups you want it to search in so, it's not looking in every group on usenet (first drop down, second row).

You can also ask it to pull the next 2000 hits with the arrow looking button next to the "Internet" field in the toolbar.

Thanks -- didn't know about the arrow to pull the next 2000 hits. Very helpful. That fixed my problem!
