Is there a problem with the search facility, I am posting comps I did yesterday but they are not coming up in search.
I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

Yup, confirmed ... I can't find this post on the search :

Searching for : Good Housekeeping
or : Grayshott Health Spa0 -
Same for vouchercloud comps.
One posted today comes up in the search, but 2 posted yesterday not showing in search.0 -
I have just entered several website links for competitions posted yesterday 5/7 on the search and none are showing in search. Looks like all competitions posted yesterday are in danger of being duped. Competitions posted today and the 4th are coming up in search.0

A bit late to this party, but I have checked it out and posted as quoted below in SITE FEEDBACK (as has priorslee)
Note that clicking on a username and then choosing "Find More Posts By..." works.
The worry is that today's threads will also disappear from search after 4am tomorrow morning.
As usual with Search Faults: BEWARE OF DUPESThe same fault as
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5915064/search-fault-now-solved-after-fifteen-days-everything-is-now-ok from November 2018
and https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5968785/search-fault-now-solved from February 2019
is happening again.
New posts created from approx 4am 05/07 to 4am 06/07 are not being returned in Search Results.
On Competitions Time, searching for "win" should return almost every thread. Taking only threads with no replies, there is a gap from 4am 05/07 to just after 4am 06/07. There should be hundreds of threads with "win" between these two that search does not find.
Example threads to search for
Search term vaudeville should find https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6021712/e-18-07-win-tickets-to-the-worst-witch-in-the-west-end
Search term xceed should find https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6021925/e-30-08-md-win-a-superb-swimming-bundle-from-mp-michael-phelps
As before:
Advanced Search on a username is not working
Clicking on username then "Find more posts by..." is working
but:
Advanced Search "Titles Only" is NOT working (it worked previous times when the fault occurred)
Search is currently finding today's threads posted after 4am. Previously these threads became lost on the next overnight run. I will report on this tomorrow.
In November2018, it took 5 days before MSE even believed the fault was real and affected everyone, a further 5 days before the first attempted remedy and a further 5 days before the fault was finally solved.
In February 2019 the fault was solved next day.0 -
Problem now solved - all threads showing normally in SEARCH0

Thanks One-EyeI do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus0
