Yup, searching back further than 2 years on RBB remains very slow. You couldn't
constantly use it for searching the entire archive, it would cost too much and
take forever.
Notwithstanding this, they've enabled a larger archive with version 3 - back to
1980, if you're patient...

Subject: RE: Northern Light Special Collection
I am trying to compare Reuters Business Briefing and FT Profile. My
priorities are depth of news coverage, both historically and geographically
and speed of use.
Does anyone have experience of using them together?
When I tried Reuters about two yeas ago I fount that although it was quick
for recent information it was very slow when dealing with searches if the
complete database, is this still true?
