In the advanced search area, I started playing with the archived caches.  I wanted to compare areas with old caches to what is out there now.  However, I had a hard time finding caches after 2003...  What is going on here?  Does the system have to download the rest yet or is it a bug?

Thank you,  7 Iron

I agree with 7Iron, using Advanced Search with Archive Only option. No caches archived after 2003 are returned. Using map compare and showing archived caches (and even better with a custom filter so that only archived caches are shown), I can easily find archived caches for any year. Looks like a bug in Custom Search, adding a hidden date range?

Like stated, you can do it with custom filters in map compare. There is a video about how to do it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP3G4JuYFrI

I have no idea why it doesn't work with advanced search. But why would I? :)

You can do it with a custom filter. They are a paying member function located in the menu with your name
