Search function not working

Hello,

We have some issues with searches not returned expected results.

For example, searching for the exact phrase "Maikel Garcia" returns a number of results, but fails to return the following threads which contain that phrase:
mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/5460/royals-tigers
mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/5721/nationals-royals

From looking at other similar issues it appears that you are able to request/perform a 're-index' which may help.
Could you please request/perform this on our forum?

Many thanks,
Stephen

I have submitted a reindex for the forum. It should be completed in about 15-30 minutes based on the size of your forum.

Please let me know if this issue persists at all!

Hello,

I can confirm that the previously missing results are now showing when the same search is performed. Thank you for helping so quickly.

Is re-indexing something that should be requested any time we experience a search which fails to return a result that we know it should?
In our 6+ years of using this specific board, the inconsistent search functionality has really been the only problem we've had with the otherwise excellent Proboards service - so if this can be sorted by a semi-regular re-index then that would be fantastic news.

Thanks,
Stephen

Hello,

I believe another re-index may be required.
Could you please submit this request?

Many thanks,

Hi

For future reference, it is best to start a new topic.  This is because topics are marked as resolved, so posting in an old topic may mean your post is overlooked.  I will tag Scott, who will hopefully see this when he gets online today and do a reindex for you
