is there a way that I can access "old" questions that I have asked here?

The site keeps only 2 or 3 months of discussions in My Subscriptions. To go further back in time, do a search in Google for:
"Scott Varga" site:discussions.apple.com
You can of course refine this search query by adding other terms.
Posts seem to exist in perpetuity. It is the forum's internal search function that has a time limit. That is why 6x6's excellent advice of using a web search is spot on.
A tip: If you retype the string instead of copy/paste, note that there is NO space between the colon (:) after "site" and the "d" in "discussions."

Historically, this had been my experience. Before today, I’ve consistently had access to a full three months worth of my history via subscription tab filter. But coincidentally, I was just now looking for an answer I provided to another user and noticed it’s only returning one month for me atm.
Anywho, in the spirit of collaboration, thought i’d relay the empirical observation since it happened to be current and relevant. [tldr demarcation line] => Out thar be dragons! I mean, disclaimers! And my thread! 🙃
This delta t in the retrieval window functionality is a single data point. A single data point provides absolutely no statistical insight into population or event dynamics, so I’m not disagreeing with @6x6 in any kind of categorical sense.
How can I access my old Apple Community post questions?
