Progress Report

Well, it seems the indexes are catching up but still not quite.

I just tried Quick Links > My Posts minutes ago. I can see what I post today (btw, Happy Thanksgiving! ). My oldest posts are in the search result as well.

There's only one catch: (more or less) 1000 posts short in "My Posts" search. Over the years, I've had almost 3K posts on record. But the most recent post search only included about 1700 posts. I am guessing certain fora haven't been sync yet.

Is IB Beta Search still catching up with indexes?

Clicking on an FTer's handle and clicking on "Find More Posts by XXXXXXX" isn't working.

Search Index Problem

It appears the search index is out of sync, at least this morning.

None of the posts I posted this morning showed up in "Quick Links" > "My Posts." The latest post was dated 12/14/08. Not sure if December 14th was the "cutoff" date for now. None of my posts made in 12/15 or 12/16 was search-able.

I'm seeing the same. Recent posts are not being returned in search. Looks like the indexing was stopped a day ago.

Well, it seems the search index is current now. I am able to what I posted less than an hour ago under "My Posts."

Can the admin tell us why the search indexes keep having "hiccup" every couple of weeks? I had thought moving FT to new servers was supposed to speed things up.

Why the indexes just fall behind without any good reason?

search is totally "schrod" for me. simply returns a page only showing
"Search results provided by: ibSearch from Internet Brands" without any error messages such as "no terms matched...."

This seems to be an intermittent issue. Sometimes it is up to date and other times it does not have recent relevant posts.

No Search Result & Not Indexing

Well, for the moment being, search is not indexing nor functional.

ETA:
Search is back at 9:48 pm CST.

Why does IB Beta Search fail to index properly every couple of days (during the last couple of weeks)?

I am unable to search using both a handle and a term. I have been unable to do so since we abandoned old (as in House of Miles design) search.

Ok, I've reported both of those issues to tech, though SD1K, sounds like this isn't a new issue.

thanks
