Digg Adds Search for User History, Limits "History" to Recent Activity?

It seems that Digg.com may have taken 1 step forward but 2 steps back with the addition of the user search feature.

Checking my digg history, I notice that it only goes 3 pages back. I discovered this when I tried to search for a story I know I've dugg within the last 72 hours. Upon searching for the exact title or even by specific keywords, I got nothing. Trying to manually page back led me to discover this new 3 page limitation.

The history data and ability to view isn't completely gone, it's just hiding. The URL for each page of your history ends in /page1, 2, 3, and so on. So by manually typing in subsequent numbers it you can view further back.

In spite of that, the user search is not indexing anything past 3 pages of recent history, which defeats the purpose of a search feature altogether. How hard is it, really, to check something you've dugg recently? I don't know about you, but if I'm searching for something, it's probably because I dugg it a while back and can't find it easily the manual way. Now, it seems, they are trying to prevent finding it either way.

The Digg homepage and upcoming queue are time sensitive in nature, but it is still social bookmarking isn't it? Is our digg history / collection of bookmarks now temporary in nature too?

As an aside, you can no longer view the your submission history by whats hit the homepage either. What are they trying to hide?
