View Full Version : Increasing the Goto Page ranges in a search

This was asked a few weeks ago about the Goto Page selection choices.

When you do a search, the goto page list at the bottom looks like this:
Goto page 1, 2, 3 ... 26, 27, 28 Next

If you click on page 3, you'll get this:
Goto page Previous 1, 2, 3, 4 ... 26, 27, 28 Next

That means you have to keep clicking your way up.

Here's a partial solution. Change the "start=" count in the address bar.
For example,
http://forum.ubnt.com/forum/search.php?search_id=1635019533&start=50
and you'll get a date range of Dec 21 to Dec 15.

Change the "start=50" to "start=400"
http://forum.ubnt.com/forum/search.php?search_id=1635019533&start=400
and you'll get the date range of Aug 19 to Aug 9

AND...you'll see THIS at the bottom
Goto page Previous 1, 2, 3 ... 16, 17, 18 ... 26, 27, 28 Next

Change it to "start=300" and you see,
Goto page Previous 1, 2, 3 ... 12, 13, 14 ... 26, 27, 28 Next

Its only a partial solution, because when I tested it, it missed a post on a particular that that I found with a different search metric. I verified that I made a post on Sep 19, but when I used the above described tip, I couldn't find my post...even when I looked up and down either way by two days.
