You are correct, the way IB search handled those requests was different and down the road if it's possible to restore this functionallity we will.

Do the following search:

Find threads with: at least 0 replies (the default setting)
Find posts from: your last visit
sort results by: last posting date in descending order
Show results as: posts
I did that search and I saw a post on the first page from 2001, in the subsequent pages I saw posts from 2005, 2007, 2008...get the idea? clearly wrong.
I only last logged in last week. Please fix it. All I want to do is see what posts have been made with a given keyword since I last logged in. Why is that so hard?
What the system appears to be doing is that there may be a post in a thread that may be years old, but if the thread has been posted to within the given timeframe, it thinks it should return that post, which is not what I'm asking for. The last verison of search had no problem doing this.
This isn't "beta", however we openly admit that the product is not perfect.
There are some issues that we're still working on. One is sorting by relevancy and another is limiting results from your last post. As we get these items working, we will be issuing new releases.
