You say "Show Last Default = 31". This options applies only to the "Find" page, the option "Last Default = 31" works for the quick filter. Probably you have to change "Show Last Default" to "Last Default".

I just changed to Last default = 31 and even restarted elogd.exe but it still finds a given string older than 31 days. Also the default Select Period box value next to the QF's remains at All Entries. My understanding is it shoud behave like Find, where Show Last Default = 31 should default the display to Month, and also only search within the last month of entries.

Indeed the description of the "Last default = <n>" option is not clear. I just updated that. If you have a quick filter "Date", then you have different options there like "Last day", "Last 3 days", "Last week", "Last month", "Last 3 months", "Last 6 months", "Last year". Each of these options has an underlying number of days, which are 1, 3, 7, 31, 92, 182, 364. In the "Last default = <n>" option you can only choose one of these seven options. Then this option is selected by default and the filter is applied accordingly. This lets you still change the date filter to a longer time period for example, but then with the penalty of longer search times.

So what you need is "Last default = 31" instead of 28 and it should work.

According to the doc on the setting "Last default = <n>" it is intended to restrict Quick Filter searches to the last (n) days of entries, however when I add "Last default = 28" to config it still returns entries far older then 28 days when using the filter search. Am I misunderstanding, or implementing it wrong? We must restrict searches through QF to reduce load.

A couple other side questions which are related:

The doc on this setting says: "Last default = <n>
Some logbooks are very big ans searching through all entries with quick filter can be time consuming. This option sets a default value for the Date quick filter, so that by default only the <n> days are displayed." ...... I'm assuming that by saying "only the <n> days are displayed" that it has actually only searched <n> days ................ vs seaching ALL the logbooks but only displaying <n> days. Please confirm.

Also, why wouldn't the "28" days spec display in the Select Period box beside the Quick Filters? Otherwise it appears to me to be a separate and conflicting item. Best regards!
