It wasn't. For the last 13 months, "
My Posts" had always presented me my full 2K+ posts. I am talking about this specific search.

For this reason, there has to be a limit to the number of records that are asked for. At present, that is set to 500, the vbulletin default.
Thanks for the explanation.
FWIW,
before the recent update of IB Search, when I clicked on
Quick Links >
My Posts, the system always showed me my complete 2K+ post in the result pages (except when the indexes were not loaded correctly). I had assumed it was a normal/standard default to show complete posts under "
My Posts", which was different from the behavior of this current IB Search.
