forum search doesn't search in Archived topics

Try searching for wmi, notice that you only get few results. Then try searching in google for wmi site:forum.eset.com, notice that you get much more results, for example https://forum.eset.com/topic/3410-help-with-policy-to-allow-wmi/

In the forum Search window click on the magnifier glass symbol. Under Date Created section, select "Custom." Enter a "From" and "To" date for the search. I suspect by default, the search option only goes back a year since that is the earliest specific date option offered.

Nope

EDIT:

And here's a topic from this year, you can't find it using search because it's archived

Is there any forum admin I can contact about this issue?

Unfortunately, we can't do anything with that except archiving only very old topics which would deny the purpose of why we had enabled it:

Ok so it's an Invision forum "thing". I searched around the web and found this: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/424381-search-tool-doesnt-search-archived-posts-ridiculous/

Please read it, especially posts from IPS staff/management and tell me what you think about this.
