In the meantime, just take extra care when searching.

Cheers for the pointer,One-Eye

I do wonder why we get these "blips" though?

I think a lot of these issues appear after systems have been updated...

The search has been getting less accurate for the last few months.

It can be useful but but it is very much reliant on the same title format being used on the thread & in the search field.

At least that is what I have found.

It's been like that on and off for years. It often depends on what keyword you use.

I've found that as long as the end date has been formatted correctly in the original post, then you can get away with half of the title missing and even miss out words, as below.
