Indexing Issues (updated)

[Scott]

We are currently performing maintenance on the indexing servers which should resolve the issue of search not yielding the expected results and the need in some cases for more frequent reindexing.

We apologize for the inconvenience that the need for frequent reindexing has caused some forums and appreciate your understanding while we get this all sorted.

[Scott]

Indexing should be stable now.


Please note that there is a slight lag in indexing, meaning it's not instantaneous. One cannot make a post or thread and expect to immediately find it in a search. So please do not use this as an indication that search is not working.


If you do encounter a search issue that reindexing does not appear to solve, please provide the following when posting:

Please explain what method of search you are using, provide a link to the expected results (thread or post), and the search term(s) used.

Search methods:

• Recent posts/threads (no search terms used)
• A board search looking for a thread
• Searching within a thread for a post
• Using the general search (Search from the navigation menu) looking for a thread/post on the forum and please include what fields are filled out and settings ticked (results as posts or threads)

Thank you.
