You can search back to the beginning of the posts (periodically, older posts are pruned) but you can only search in 3 month increments at a time. So within the past 3 months, over 3 months but under 6 months, over 6 months but under 9 months, etc.

The way it was explained to me is that because this is such a popular and active board, searches of over 3 months just is too much for the system!

There's a slick way to search the board using google too, but I can never remember how to do it. Somebody posted the instructions a while back, but I can't remember who or where it was posted.

Seems like that would be a good sticky topic.
