Search Function

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong with the search function? I'm trying to search for Datejust in the classified. The results only show very old postings (pre 2019 and older).

Same thing happened to me. Not sure what the answer is but found if I went to the advanced search page, I got current results.

How do I do that? I'm clicking on "search" on the main page and then "advanced" and then entering "datejust" in the keyword window, and then clicking on "classified." It always comes back the same way, with the most recent post from 2019. I see no way to filter by date.

There should be a “FIND POSTS FROM….” option further down that page. Select something like past 3 months or yesterday, etc. I just tried and it worked for me.

when you go to advanced search there's a drop down "Find Posts from" under the search bar

Thanks, that seemed to work for me too. What a bizarre system.

Someone please try to fix this awkward search system. One shouldn't have to use "advanced" and set a date range to find searched items and avoid the results page populated with old listings.

For most things on this forum I use a google search with “The Rolex Forum”.
