Time Frame for Search Option

Would it be possible when performing a MeFi search to have a time option for more than a month, but less than a year? Maybe 6 months? Wouldn't this decrease "timing out"? Thanks!

Good idea - the searches seem to be timing out more and more often, I find - a year is a lot of data to search through.

Or even by a specific parameter?

But as this is not Burger King, have it Your Way:) I added that as Matt does do a lot for us and it may be more than the time line of the search. I had it time out looking for a post that was posted the same day.

But it doesn't hurt, the squeaky wheel gets the oil or...

I agree it's not Burger King. :-> But I thought it might be a helpful suggestion.
