Search not returning new posts

Search doesn't return any posts newer than December 31st.

Maybe something needs to be tweaked to get it to work for 2012?

Yes, it still needs to be fixed.

When asked in DSLR -> Forums -> The Site -> DSLReports.com -> Need Site Help -> search feature stopped working since end of 2011 if there any ETA as to when it will be fixed, they don't know.

Oh, sorry I didn't notice that. I guess I should have searched for that message

Ha, ha

In the meantime while search is down, we have to manually search/lurk/browse for the info..

Google picks up new posts here pretty quickly, and is a viable alternative to use while the site search isn't working optimally.

Just plug in "site:dslreports.com searchterm" in the search field.

In the meantime, I will do that.

Is there a way to sort by date, using Google?

As need be, give an example.

ex: "site:dslreports.com IPv6 sort:by date"

Yeah, I know there is Date: (how recent the page is) but that is not what I want.

Thanks.

I believe once you have the results narrowed down to a timeframe (day, week, month, etc) an option appears at the top of the results allowing you to change the sort from relevance to most recent. I'm not aware of any keywords you can add to the query to accomplish this automatically though.

Thank you, I needed to look a the screen more closely..
