I could have sworn I made a thread about this already but I can't seem to find it

For quite some time now we've been having an issue with search results not returning the appropriate amount of results.

When someone clicks on a members name to open the pop up and clicks on "View forum posts" trying to find their posts, a seemingly random number of posts will display.

This varies so often between all accounts (members, mods, admins) that I can't figure out what's going on. Even the user that first brought this to my attention can sometimes get the correct amount of posts to show ... even on a member that wasn't returning the proper results just days before.

I have triple checked the settings in "message searching options" and I can't find any limits anywhere that would hinder search results.

One thing I have recently found out (like yesterday) is that one of our less experienced admins rebuilt the search index. Would that cause the issue mentioned earlier in this thread?
