Hey Paul, I was trying to search for some older threads on a particular topic, but the search function seems to be limited to delivering a maximum of 200 results to any given query. I know I can control the date parameters to only pull posts that are over a year old, but is there any way I can see more than 200 "hits?" Is that maximum particular to the vB software? Or is that a limit you set to help control the size of the database? Just curious.

(I posted this here because I figured other folks might have the same question... ) Thanks, CS :-)

It is a number that I set in the admin controls to limit the amount of server time expended on any given search. The more "hits" the harder and longer the server has too work. And, this would slow down the page for everyone, not just the person searching.
