Searches do not yield old thread results?

I've been testing the search feature looking for posts under NaphtaliPress, and I cannot get any hits to come up for any of the old imported threads. I can only get posts results that have been posted since the move. Is this the way things are or can this be fixed?

This is a feature.

Working it. Search index should be re-built within an hour.
 
Thanks Rich -- that is a big help for someone who likes to resurrect old threads like me! :D

One thing I noticed, however: I can search on a particular date (say, like, October 31) and find particular results with that date in the Archives but not on the new board. The message one gets is "Showing results 1 to 25 of 208 Search took 2.43 seconds. Search: Key Word(s): october The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: 31." Is there any way to allow for date searching on the new board?

Unfortunately it's not quite fixed. Rebuilding the search index is a humongous resource hog. I started it last night and everything began crawling. I had to let it run while I slept (about 4 hours of sleep last night). Unfortunately it only indexed 142,000 of the 210,000 posts. I'm hoping I can figure out a way to index the delta because I don't want to have to run this all over again from scratch. It has about 70% of information but is probably missing most of the stuff from this year's posts.

Interesting that the Advanced Search really has poor granularity to search that way. I'll see what I can find.
 
Looks like the rebuild is still happening in the background even though I closed my browser. The board will probably be slow all day. It has about 60,000 posts left to index until it's all done.
