Would it be possible to increase the number of results that are displayed by the search function?

At present the limit is 250 and this often causes me problems when doing research for werewolf games in the POG Forum (despite the older/newer limited date ranges). Usually this happens when trying to reread all of a certain users posts in an old game, but they have made more than 250 so its impossible to access the early ones.

Occasionally I have been similarly thwarted when searching for/within threads in other forums as well. I guess others have experienced similar frustration too.

I assume there is a good reason why there is currently a limit but is there any room to review it?

If there is not then one possible alternative solution I can think would be to allow users to specify an exact date range in the 'Find Posts from' box for a search. In fact this may be preferable to just increasing the limit from 250 to a bigger number.

Thanks

+1 to OP, though I'm pretty sure it matters only for werewolf. But when your dead seer has over 250 posts it makes life hard on the remaining villagers. (Seers who post a lot, keep that in mind.)

... what kind of 'research' do you need in a werewolf game?

i mean, you're either it or not it, right?

+1, I've run into this problem when I want to work out my distribution of posts per forum, or search for all posts by Ron Burgundy.

Perhaps an expansion of the search history limits would also help.... when searching for old posts, the 250 cap is kinda limiting, as there is no way around it (other than searching for threads, which can make an easy search much more difficult)

Pel -
could you also add a filter to allow me to search for more than 250 images at a time (and maybe sub-search by type, like "blonde with tattoo" or "2girls/1midget")? not for werewolf, it's...er...personal research.

thx

very few search tools index symbols, that is not unique to vB or 2p2.
