Search Indexing broken
Search indexing appears to be broken again.
Nothing new has been indexed for the last several days. For example, no new threads created since at least Feb. 24 show up in search results.

I was going to post about this as well. Several dupe threads in TV Talk because when the 2nd thread starter searched for a thread, it wasn't found.

Yes, it looks like recent results are showing up today, so the index must've been updated sometime between yesterday and today.

Re: Search Indexing broken
Now there seems to be a hole in the data. For example, this thread is in search results:
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/music-talk/...go-lineup.html
But this one from 3 days earlier is not:
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/music-talk/...up-leaked.html

Re: Search Indexing broken
Well. I'm not sure.
How long is it supposed to take before new threads show up in the search results? I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be immediate, is it not? I don't remember there being some delay before.
This thread, created 3 hours ago, shows up in search results.
However, these threads:
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/music-talk/...y-fabares.html
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/tv-talk/609...03-2013-a.html
created 2 hours ago or less, do not show up in search results.
So, either there's some delay before they show up, or the indexing broke again? Or something else?

The above worked for me.
I think it depends how you look. I always go "advanced" mess with the parameters and sometimes will try a "trick" like the one above.

The advanced search still seems to be broken. Tried searching for "Arrow" and "Supernatural" in the TV Talk forum and nothing newer than 10/15 will show up.

Xander is correct, and his use case is a typical one whereby I notice that the indexing is broken.
Another example: You started a thread titled "Even the legitimate emailers are selling s*x aids now?" yesterday. Try to find it by its title with Search. You will not be able to.

Re: Search Indexing broken
Tech has performed a re-index of the search engine. I reported to them that the issue persists, so they will look into other options. Thank you for reporting!
EDIT: tech has tested the use case you reported above and it is working for them. Let me know if this poses further problems.
