## 🐛 Describe the Bug

I just categorized about a years worth of searches and the old (actual) search date was overwritten with todays date.

## ✅ Expected Behavior

I would have expected searches that were not amended to have their date unchanged.

❌ Actual Behavior

dates were overwritten without new searches being made on old threads

## 🔄 Steps to Reproduce

1. take an item in your history (library)
2. categorize it or change the categorization
3. watch the date change

## 📌 API Request & Response (if applicable)

1. 
## API Version: Not using API (using Perplexity web app only)
2. SDK (if applicable): None

3. Operating System: Windows 11

## 📎 Logs or Screenshots (if applicable)

Add any logs or screenshots that can help debug the issue.

## 📝 Additional Context

dates should be part of all answers to aid debugging and data management. you are generally very weak on database management capability.

Hey — this forum is specifically for the Perplexity API (Sonar models, Search API, Agent API, SDKs, billing/credits). For issues with the Perplexity consumer product (web app, mobile, Spaces, Library), the best route is the in-app help or support at [support.perplexity.ai](https://support.perplexity.ai).

Closing this thread, but feel free to open a new one if you have an API-related question.
