If I want to search a word (eg changelog) in a game thread, how can I set a date (eg on or after 1 Nov 2018)?
In the search bar, I can find where to search (everywhere or in this thread?) but I cannot set a date. I tried to find it in advance search but do not know how.
I remember that in old version, I can set the date directly in the search bar.
Please help.
Sorry for my bad english.

If you go to Advanced Search you can search by date but only the whole forum or by subforum, not an individual thread.

Damn, that's really unfortunate. Visually speaking, the new website looks really great, but it seems like navigating around is going to be a much more time consuming process in comparison to the old design.

Searching an entire thread for a specific term will often bring up a lot of irrelevant and outdated results, especially in threads that have multiple years worth of posts. It doesn't help that we can't even sort the search results by date - they seem to be listed randomly. Without being able to specify a range of dates when using the search tool, it seems like the only alternative is to manually navigate to that date within the thread, then CTRL-F through each page of posts until we find what we're looking for?

I'm hoping there's some easier way to do this that I just haven't considered yet.
