Why Doesn't The RIU Search Bring Up Today's Posts When I Hit "Find All Posts"?

Hello everyone. just wondering why when i search for all my posts, that it doesn't bring up todays posts? It seems to only bring up the ones from a day older and beyond, but nothing newer
 
I wondered this too, The only thing I came up with is,

That you can only edit your post's so long before they are un-editable.
I believe once that started thread is unable to be edited, its locked into the forums and now will yield a result in the search.

The short answer of things is our database is just to big. With everyone using the search feature of the site I am glad as this cuts down on countless repetitive posts, we had to implement a new search engine similar to what google uses for their search algorithm. This is done in a separate "database" and is re-indexed on a scheduled basis, if you are looking for really recent posts they will not show up until the next re-index.

For the tech guys out there we moved over to an engine called sphinx.
