  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

What the title says; as of a few minutes ago (dunno how long before then), the search function can't see anything in PMs older than 24 hours (as in, the individual message is older than 24 hours, not the whole Conversation). Posts older than 24 hours can be seen by searching.

Tagging you in case you didn't notice. Also, more information: it's not a rolling limit but a fixed one; I can still search for stuff back to March 5. I'm guessing something wiped the search cache of PMs then and it needs to be rebuilt.

It's still impossible to search through PMs older than March 5. They're still there; they just don't show up in search results (I'm guessing the cache got wiped). I don't know how many/how large PMs the average user has, but I have a similar amount of PMs to posts; the ability to search them is highly useful to me.
 
Just wanted to mention, I seem to be having this same problem. Oddly, I thought I wasn't earlier this month...
 
Given it's been a month since this thread was created, just bumping to say I would also like this fixed. Or a post saying it's on the docket. Or a verdict that it can't be, or won't be.
