Hi I have made myself an excel macro that uses hyperlinks (I copied the code from my browser address bar then adapted) to search for my favorite authors and opens the results in new tabs. I would like to be able to limit results to the previous month but can't get the advanced search "Limit results to previous" to work so I can't see the code! Can anyone either tell me the language the Search function is written in or show me an example of a search by date please

This is an example of my present hyperlink:

http://forum.mobilism.org/search.php?keywords="author"&fid[]=0&sc=1&sr=topics&sf=titleonly

The way it works is by adding a desired number of days behind the "st=" section of the url.

This took a bit of time:

ch - return first # results
sr - display results as
sf - search within
st - number of days back of results to display
sc - search subforums (1 for yes 0 for no)
sk - sort by (a=author, t=post time, m=topic time, f=forum, i=topic title, post subject)
sd - a=ascending d=descending


For example:
https://forum.mobi....keywords="author"&fid[]=0&sc=1&sr=topics&sf=titleonly&sk=t&sd=d&sr=topics&st=1&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search

Hi Paujjone
Thank you for your answer It is nice for someone to at last get back to me.
I've just tried your solution but unfortunately it, like the website's 'advanced search' formula, doesn't work. I guess it is just something I'm going to have to live with
Thanks again
