Why does the search function on the new site format only produce one page of results?

I don't know.

It's kind of a bummer. Google isn't as productive with this site as some others. Maybe because of the hidden areas.

I know.  What were you searching for?

Nothing of importance today, but have noticed the one page thing a few times and have become curious about it. At first wasn't sure if it was standard but have come to conclude it is.

Because I'm not sure which search function you refer to.

And it only gives you a single page of results? I just tried it and it gave me a lot more than that.

Have never gotten more than one page of results. :(

Weird. If you search "test" as the text string, "*" as the user and range between 0 and 999 days, how many hits do you get? (And don't forget to search on all fora.)

It doesn't give me the option to choose fora, but now see what it is. Was previously checking the box of 'show results as messages', which only resulted in one page. Selecting no boxes resulted in 113 pages. Thanks, Odeon!

A search using a username instead of the asterisk still only results in one page.

That's true.  I just searched on all fora for "test" by user Jack and got one page of results.

However, I searched for "test" by user Callaway and got nineteen pages of results.
