XF 1.5 sharedIP mod function not matching admincp function

[dethfire]

For a member in profile I select sharedIP from mod drop down and it tells me there are 2 matches. If I look at the IPs for that member in admin and select an IP, it tells me there are 5 matches. Where are the missing 3 when using the mod drop down function?

The date ranges are different.

The ACP function searches over a longer period.

Which one uses the IP log date in settings?

The mod Shared IP dropdown is hardcoded to 14 days. The AdminCP version respects a configurable setting.

I wrote a tiny add-on which makes the mod Shared IP detection function respect the same admincp setting.

Thanks, I find this XF decision a little odd. My forum suffers from a lot of sockpuppet action so I need a much longer range. My mods get frustrated.

Does anyone know where this is hard coded? Would there be performance issues if increased, is that why it's a short 14 days?
