Informal poll: How do you search the forum? (Read 1512 times)

	Before I post a question I (usually) search the forum to see if it's been discussed before. On the search page, I leave all the defaults set as-is, except that I always (always) change "This post was made in the last..." from "week" to "(all posts)". So I got to wondering...is the "week" default the most often used selection or do other folks out there find themselves picking a different time frame? If some other time frame is more used, can the default be changed?

	Informal answer, like you I almost ALWAYS use All Posts, unless I know for certain I am looking for something in the last few days.

	All posts (and 1 post per thread) unless I KNOW it is on a recent version of sesame & I pick the time frame from the release date.

	So much time and so little to do . . . strike that, reverse it.

	OK. I changed the default to all posts. Have I mentioned how much I hate digging through other people's Perl? Hmmmm?
