Serach function on the forum for users does not work. Advanced search is working for Admin. I am thinking something in the settings is not set correctly?Comment

It is only brining up threads, posts from the past week and not the arcives of the site.Comment

So it's working, just not bringing up results from every forum?
Check your Usergroup Manager > select usergroup > Search Permissions and make sure users are allowed to search.
Check vboptions > Message Searching Options > make sure searching is enabled and check the other settings on that page
Check Forum Manager > select your archive forum to Edit > make sure new posts are indexed in the search engine
If that doesn't fix anything, it may be best to supply a link to your forum and a test username/password so someone can test this out.

Thanks a lot I'll check on that ran a forum for a longtime first time owner of them.Comment

Seems all that is correct.Comment

It only seraches the past week not longer seems it's locked on a timer setting or something.Comment

There isn't a timer, however it will only return x amount of results (one of the options in vboptions > searching options). Also, if you had searching off in a forum, and then turned it on, that doesn't make all the threads searchable suddenly.
What Search Type are you using (vboptions > search type)?

You have rebuilt the search index, right? Is so then the next step would be to upgrade to at least 3.7.6 to see if you have the same problem.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)
