Gremlins in the Search function

July 8th 2008 04:04

I just have to confirm that im not crazy:

Have all the old posts been wiped from the Orble search functions?
In the last few days when I try to search for posts on a particular topic only one or two entries (or none) are displayed in the search results list, as opposed to the normal multiple pages of results.
Also, on my profile page the Popular Tags list disappeared and was rest to only include the last couple of posts.

Gremlins?

Or is this all part of some top secret Orble re-design?

Hi Morgan,

We had a few problems with the database server a few days ago.

Things are working properly again now?

Jon.

try searching:
- war
- religion
- abortion
- women
- sex

Yep -- you are right and I've found the problem. I'm rebuilding the index now and it should be done in about 10 minutes.

Thanks for letting me know!

Jon.

Actually more like an hour -- it's quite a bit bigger than last time.

oh i have another question about the same topic . . .

about the "Bookmark Tags" and "Popular Tags" on our writer's profile pages:

it seems since the index rebuild that these functions are only listing posts with titles that include the tagged words rather than searching for the "Tag (keywords)" we assign them . . . is this an intentional change?
