Workspaces search query

[Alberto M]

Hi.

A quick query: is there a limit on the length of time that the search works for?

It seems that, when I search a workspace for something old - older than one year in this situation - older posts are ignored in the search.

Cheers,

Alberto

No, that shouldn't be the case.  I know that on my own instance I get results back from 5 - 6  years back.  

When things don't show up on workspace searches in the search results, it can be the case that for some reason there were not included in the activitystream index.

@James Ainsworth, thanks for the response.

In fact, here this happens. With me it was not the first time a search could not find something that going with a workaround path we can find. The other day I got a colleague complaining about it as well.

Should a re-index should be made in activitystream?
