   Hey

   I'm using the "Search Everything" plugin. What I use it for is to exclude 2 different categories, and to search for metadata as well. However, if I use it, the search finds future-dated posts also! Upon clicking it, it would give the 404 page. However, is there a way to modify the query somehow so that future posts aren't displayed? Or a conditional tag? Or to modify the plugin somewhere? I emailed the plugin's author but he hasn't responded yet...

   thanks everyone

   oh i think i got this one. instaed of using the_date i used get_the_time()

   so just make a variable

   <?php $thispostdate = get_the_time('YmdHis');
   $currentdate = date('YmdHis'); ?>

   then make an if statement saying if thispostdate is before currentdate, then show

   <?php if ($thispostdate < $currentdate) : ?>
   bla bla bla
   <?php endif; ?>

   this works because the date format YmdHis will always have 14 characters in it
