Like I had pointed out in post#262, the search result dates now reflect the newest posts in the threads. Not sure if this is a good idea but at least those dates are now giving us some idea whether there are newer posts added since we last post in the say threads. The search result dates are not the dates of your posts. You have to use the embedded "Jump to the post" link to go to your own posts and see the corresponding dates.
Kevin's post seems to imply that there
is an issue with what date is showing up in the search results. Data 'leakage' is never a good thing.
Knowing the last date a thread has been updated doesn't seem as helpful as knowing the actual date of a post.
Edited to add: Just noticed this thread in announcements - Flyertalk Search Updates
