. . . and because the search facility is limited to a maximum of 1000 questions and 1000 answers (with only the most recent 1000 of each shown).
So when people contribute to new threads containing the word 'Guardian', their posts are added to the top of the pile of 1000 indexed posts, with other (older) posts being pushed out of the indexing system, so that there are still just 1000 posts listed within it.
