Searches...

I see that the new changes have taken effect for the search page and it does run faster. The only question i have is why its not possible to search by say, the date of a live set anymore. The result of not being able to search using the date yeilds results that are not even close to what was desired. for example

Paul Van Dyk Fritz live and Soundgarden 01-07-2004

you used to be able to enter the date, or a rearrangement of the date and get the results that you were looking for, not you cant even enter the date, and if you enter the name with the date the results are long and tedious to search through, usually around 15 pages or more. Before simply entering the date yeilded within 3 pages of results and quick finds.

Anyway, i love the site, maybe im just entering my search info wrong but i have tried a few ways and i have had limited success in decreases my search results to what im lookin for. just wondering if maybe searching by date could be brought back.

Thanks for your time, its greatly appreciated.

The way the search operates now is by doing searches on words - the more unique the word - the faster the search will happen.

-If you include the date in the first search field then it won't really pay attention to it

-If you put what you want to search for in the first field and put the date in the "exact phrase" box then things aren't improved much

So, the best way to it is to put the date the way you did in the exact phrase box and just search for that and then limit by forum or whatever.. hope that's good enough.
