As the title says, why is that the case ?

[shonguiz]

No one ? Webmasters are on vacation ?

The only person who could give you a definitive answer is Hack, who is our part-time in-house troubleshooter/developer. I'm sure he'll be along at some point. Patience is a virtue.

 

However, I do wonder why on earth you would actually need more than 1000 results for search term!

Surely he hacked off some years ago?

[shonguiz]

Because I am searching for a post of mine. Unfortunately with the 1000 limit, it only gets me to 2015. And the newest archived post is from 2012. So I can't access my 2013-2014 posts which is where I need to look at.

Obviously, one of shonguiz's virtues IS patience.

Looking forward to Hack's reply, as am also interested.

Have you tried the search form? Every likelihood that if you can recall the approximate date or, a key content word, you should locate it quite easily. The search form is accessed by clicking the toothed wheel adjacent to the magnifying glass in the search box.
As far as Hack is concerned, I have not seen him post in these fora for a number of years so undoubtedly, you'll have an extremely extended wait.
Edit.
I've just checked, Hack was last seen in here on 11th September 2013.

Does he return quinquennially, if so, he's due in September.

As M11 says, the advanced search facility should find your post very quickly if you can remember a keyword or two in it. Otherwise you can specify a date range to search. This should then list all the posts you made within that date range, eg:


should come up with the six pages of posts you made between January 2012 and December 2013.

Being logged in as a member in order to post and being logged in as a developer are two different things.

You'll note that I said "In these fora". We've been waiting for Hack to comment since the downgrade, nothing is going to change any time soon.
