Help with Search Function
Whenever I perform a search, the results of my search will only show 10 pages of results and most of the time those results only go back less than a year.
For example, if I search "fuel pump" in the C5 General Section, I only get 10 pages of results, with the oldest thread being displayed dated 6-26-2009. I know for a fact there are posts dated before June of 2009 that have references to fuel pump that I would like to read (or remember reading and know the thread was pre June 2009). How the heck can I increase the amount and date of returns the search gives me?
Makes it very difficult to search for an answer if all I am going to get is the last 6 months of results.
Thanks in advance.

1. Use advanced search.
2. Select "Find Posts From", be sure and select the right side of this one so that it says "and older"
Works for me to get older posts than 1 year.

Just in case you haven't already viewed it, there is a tutorial Sticky at the top of the Help Forum page that tells you how to use the Advanced Search function:

Be aware the tutorial is a little out of date, in that there are no longer archives to search. But the tutorial does have pics that will help with the other things.
