Trouble searching STEX by username

I search the STEX often by username. I click on the "view (username's) other files" button. But lately it limits the content shown to only stuff uploaded since march 2011. Is there any way around this so I can see certain users' full collection?

You can go back further if you click the gear icon next to the search

box then in the date start box on the page that opens type it like this:

January 1, 2000 12:00AM Then put in your end date the same way,

also don't forget to put in your keyword or search criterior.You can

even select a date using the calendar date selection option.

The search may still not find everything,but i did find some stuff from

2004 so it can find some stuff anyway.

Glade to see the search is back working now though.^_^

    I tried that but it gave me 0 results. I left the keyword entry blank and just put a name in the username entry. Tried various start and end dates, but still nothing...

    The search is still buggy I guess,when i searched I just put in BAT

    The user content section (which I am assuming is related to the search function) also will only go back as far as one calendar year. When I go to load up what I have contributed to the STEX, it will only go back a single year - no matter if I do it through "my content" at the upper right of the page, or if I click on my (or any, for that matter) user name in the STEX.

    Until a few weeks ago, the delimitation had been as far back as ten calendar year (well before ST even existed, or SC4 for that matter). Now, lately, something has been wonked out and changed, so that the search trawls only back as far as 365 days. Frustrating.

    Since most of my files on the STEX are considerably older than one year, how about going back to day 1 again. A one year limitation is not good for me as it only shows a couple of recent maps.
