Will there a feature that lets us look at posts that were made in a certain year under a certain tag. In the search bar? Like how when you go into the archive of someone’s blog and you see all the posts they made in a month. Or year. I’m trying to find a certain post under a certain tag but can’t find it when I go into the search bar because there’s only a certain timeline we can search. Like would it be possible to see posts from 2016 or even 2013?
Answer: Hey, @jadeloverxd!
We’d love to include posts older than 2017, but it comes at a cost.
Cataloging the first 10 years of Tumblr’s life with our new search infrastructure will eat up a lot of our time and space, with diminishing returns. We know most people don’t access posts that old, even when we did support going back to that time. Going back before 2015 would actually require us to do a lot of difficult digging, as we weren’t properly indexing posts before that time in the first place.
Instead, we’re trying to focus our current efforts on improving searching within blogs (which we’ve heard a lot of feedback about!) and reducing the amount of spam and otherwise bad content for the things most people are searching around Tumblr for.
We hope this helps clarify things. If we have any updates, you’ll be the first to know.
has it occured to yall that people don't search for older posts because tumblr doesnt find shit
like it's actually a pretty important feature to be able to find a post by remembering some of its content but not remembering who made it
also by "posts that old" do you mean "posts that were first posted at that time even if they were reblogged recently" or "posts that were not reblogged since then" bc the difference is also important
