2) The relevance score is complicated to explain and doesn't mean much in an absolute sense. That is, a post with twice the relevance score is much more likely to be relevant, but 2% vs 1% and 50% vs 25% mean pretty much the same thing.

3) I think that's a timezone issue. The search results are going to be PST.

4) Will forward to the search team.
Thanks for the updates, please keep those coming. I think the most frustrating thing is not having any idea if what is reported is being worked on/resolved. Problems are normal, but not getting reports acknowledged, even if they've been solved or are being worked on, is not good business sense.

Problem with search this thread:

BTW, the search within a thread needs to automatically be done by posts without having to pick the advanced search and selecting that option, after all, if you're searching a thread, it's of very little use if that thread is returned.
