Author Topic: Search is working... I think! (Read 2111 times)

With more gratitude and appreciation than I can adequately express, a friend of ours has diagnosed the issue and guided me to the fix, and search appears to be working again. This friend has asked to remain anonymous, so a huge thank you from me here without naming names.

Due apologies to everyone for letting it languish broken for so long. Will post another post about why that was here shortly.

Unknown: If the search indexes are accurate. As of tomorrow (because the indexer runs overnight) please let me know if it's not finding things it should. My default test, "pizza" is turning up hits from Dec 2020 so I think it's fairly up to date.

Edit - indexer is running properly, hits showing up from yesterday.

Thanks boss, awesome to have it again!

I've become used to it not working.
......I'm not sure if I feel that something is right or something is wrong now.

Thank you for asking for help and thank you to whoever fixed the problem.

Woohoo! Now we can get back to telling people to search for crap.

Damn, now I'm going to have to search for crap.

Awesome!

I've been searching for things ever since I joined the forum a couple of years ago; I just had to click the "Search titles of posts only" button for it to work. I figured that's just how it was supposed to function, but this sounds much better!

A Raspberry Pi version 1

That's the best computer to chuck at anyone who suggests to put a Pi in anything.

Update - with permission I can say that the person who donated their time and expertise to troubleshooting what was wrong with search was Malenko - thank you Malenko

Cool thanks Malenko. I actually spent time searching for the solution as well after saint somewhat asked for help last week. I decided I would need server access to fix it though.

Mike A · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2021, 08:44:22 am »

Thanks Malenko.

I hope you make it to the next Zapcon.

You also have an open invitation to visit Alpha Centuri.

ah ok yeah, I posted when pissed then read it again in the morning and thought better. Was worried someone (you mainly as I quoted you) might interpret it the wrong way and get upset

Maybe I could reinstate my original post but you know, care factor

<3 always
