I now the search feature is a work in progress, but in the past I used to run a search for my user name to see if anybody has responded to a post in a thread I no longer read thoroughly. Since January, though, all I get are results from January 1 or earlier. Am I doing something wrong?

no, the search engine stopped indexing then when we moved servers. A fix is coming soon, most likely within a month or so now, I was actually just working on it a bit now.

Makes sense. Thanks!

Stupid question: does that mean that the search won't find recent thread subject as well? For example in 40k Tactics somebody wants to talk about Sentinels seemingly every three weeks, and if it's because they can't search for anything new, it makes more sense.

yes, for now that is the case.
