Search Not Indexing Today's Posts (1/8/09)

I only tried 3 newbie FTers' handles so far. None of today's posts (at least from this afternoon) are showing up when I request searches.

I don't know if Kiwi Flyer used key word search when reporting the problem. But when I report the index problems, I generally don't use key words search. I use FT handles (i.d. click on "Find More Posts by XXX" under one's FT handle). I am getting nil result from some newbie FTers that started posting today.

Search results provided by: ibSearch from Internet Brands

Nothing found to match your search request

Reason: Your search terms were not found
I didn't type in any search term. The only explanation I can come up with this: Search Is Not Indexing Today. Again.

How often do you guys have to manually restart the search indexing? The search index has been falling off the wagon very often recently. Another hardware failure on search indexes as well?
