I was trying to find a post I made a while back but seemingly can't search back any earlier than January 2010. I assume it's a deliberate limit to save on server load but if not, is there a way to search further back?

I'm afraid not. 500 posts is the limit that the search with run with. I've seen this also on other vBulletin driven sites.

Refine the search with a keyword and you might get more luck.

I was able to use the date filters to find it by selecting posts before X date. Thanks.
