Yes, if you enter a search word you can span many years.

But, if you omit a search word, and let's say you want to find all messages from a certain user between 2 dates, you can only specify a maximum of a 2-year span.

For instance, I was looking for all my own messages from the past 4 years (no search word in the filter). Can only do 2 years max this way.

>>>I see you found out how to make the entered primary key of the Member to be sent to the server. Yes, a Enter would/is needed presently so the transaction would do a round trip to the server. There is no dedicated server or the infrastructure in place to support on key round trip to the server as this cannot be supported with such a site. As far as the two year default, you can change that as this is bound to the two dates which appear on the form.
