Been using the searching link kindly given and changing the date each day, but today it's started included expired comps and ones with irrelevant days.
It's only just started doing it. Noticed there seemed to be more results than usual. Perhaps this is why?
Just when I thought I was finding a way to carry on comping...

@grannybiker Does it do better if you put the date in quotes i.e. "E: 20/02".0

Shortest link for searching an end date:
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search?adv=1&title=%22E%3A+21%2F02%22&cat=72&discussion_d=1
This is set to "E: 21/02". To change this date just change it in the "Title" box on the search results page and click on the "Search" button (on the right above the results). Note that this ONLY Searches the main board and it relies on the "E: 21/02" being formatted correctly in the title of all comps posted.
We all know that sometimes the end date has been mis-formatted so you could search for just "21/02" in the title using:
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search?adv=1&title=%2221%2F02%22&cat=72&discussion_d=1
...but you may get one or two stray results.
If you want to search for more than one day's comps, go to the "Title" box and add all the dates, (enclosed in quotes but separated by a space) then click the search button again. Note that the results of this are not sorted.
Shortest link for finding ITV & Channel 5 comps in Post/Phone/Text forum is:
