When narrowing any search by date, why is there only an option to look prospectively from a point in time?

When it comes to utilizing date criteria when searching:
  • threads and posts can only be narrowed by "newer than"
  • profile posts can only be narrowed by "newer than"
  • conversations can only be narrowed by "started after"
  • users can only be narrowed by "registered after"
Why? I'm really puzzled why a limitation like this would be built-in.

Isn't it something as simple as > and < in regards to calling data by date?

The forums are run on a software package called xenForo, and we are somewhat limited by whatever features xenForo supplies. Unfortunately, the search features you mentioned are not part of the xenForo system.
