Message search cannot search messages older than a year, why?

Question

When you search for messages in a Yahoo Group that contains messages older than a year either using quick search or advanced search, search always returns messages that are less than a year old -- it never returns a message that is over a year old! I was wondering if that is intentional. If yes, does Yahoo! have a plan to change that?

Answer 1

huh, my searches show far back on one test to 2004- you might want to check to be sure those older posts were not deleted. if they were deleted, they wont come up.

just in case all checks out correct and it stil will only search back  a year,

Answer 2

well like everything esl on any place..it would pile up and slow down and to make more room they would have to remove all the older stuff so it can take on never things. After a time is does slow the server down. Some time if your looking for something to do with yahoo..try tying it in google..it may help but not aways.
