In the Hilton forum, did a search for Chicago. No matches. It's still not right. Hopefully we can get an update from the support folks, at least with some idea of the ETA for a fix or an ETA for another ETA.

Exclamation Search Index Not Current Again!
The latest I can see from "My Posts" was from Feb 15, 09, 7:53 pm (CST). I actually have a couple of more posts since.

Not sure exactly when the indexing stops updating though. At least none of my 3 posts from today is showing.

As a test, I just tried searching using "Stormybot" as the user name and "current" as the key word.

Nothing turned up.

Search is not working. Searched "French Quarter" and french quarter, in the SPG forum. No results at all.

Update:
Ok, it was up to date, but they needed to bring the entire search down for the next half hour or so to correct some other issues. It should be back up soon.

I don't think so. According to IB Search, the most recent post of yours is dated 2/10/09.

How many more DAYS do we need to wait for the search index to be current? According to my "research", the latest posts from searches are dated 2/17/09. Nothing beyond that had been indexed.

Does IB need to bring Google on board so the search problems can be fixed within hours, instead of months? IIRC, the IB (in-house) has been working on IB Beta Search for more than a year and FTers haven't seen the fix yet.

Terrible searching right now. Not up to date at all.

Search has been broken for four or five days, I think. It's paralyzed right now.

Question How Many Days (or Months) IB Needs to Have a Up-to-date Search Index?
IB Beta Search is still not current as I type. It's been more (or less) than a week this time. None of "My Posts" from last week is shown in any search.

Is it really that difficult to have a search feature that would have a current index?

I believe it's been much longer than 4-5 days this time.

Where's the IB tech team?
