Threads are sorted by the date of the last reply. So even if a thread were 10 years old, if someone replies to it today ( which was the case with this one ), it shows up under recent posts. It's generally not a good idea to reply to very old posts when searching as many of the members may no longer be around, but it does happen sometimes.
