Search - 'Posted After' date doesn't work?

I just tried a search with a narrow date range and it worked fine. I set April 1 in the POSTED AFTER field and today in the POSTED  BEFORE field. I only got threads posted to within that date range.

Nothing has changed there.

Rich,

I believe you, but for some reason it does not work for me. I just did the search below as you did, POSTED AFTER APRIL 1, and it returned threads from 2011.

Any ideas what may be happening?

THX!

I, too, just tried a time limited search of "double slip switch" in the "all these words" box with an "after" date of 1/1/2013 and a "before" date of 4/5/2013.  All the responses I received were from 2011 and 2012.

Maybe the search database isn't updated more frequently than annually because I received no 2013 date responses.

This has only happened to me once.  All other times I was able to limit my results to the date entered.

I alerted Hoopla Tech Support on this one, and it appears we may have discovered a bug. There is a good workaround, however.

Over on the left of the Advanced Search page, "Everything" will be checked as the active search by default. If you choose "Forums" then the date range search will work OK.

Hoopla is looking into why the date range selection does not work if "Everything" is selected.

Rich:

If you choose "Forums" then the date range search will work OK.

Yes! that did the trick. Maybe this should be noted until/if the bug is fixed?

Thanks for your help.
