I'm posting this to bring it to the mod's attention

The search works again, the "Your search contained ignored words, ignored words are words like a,and,to,between.Please re-construct your search without these ignored words." error doesn't come up anymore

but when searching archived messages, no results are found

Please we need the archived messages, there's a huge amount of information in all those archived threads

Hopefully this gets fixed soon :thumbsup:
 
Doesn't work for me. They're probably still working on things. Give them time.

Search for "Seagate" in Hot Deals archived - no results. "Maxtor" brings up 4 threads from the year 2000 and "Western Digital" brings up a total of 2 threads from 2000. Somehow I believe we've talked about WD drives more than twice in the last 6 years. 🙂
 
The search indexes definitely have problems. Could AT rebuild them? Might take some downtime but I think its necessary.
 
Guys, we've posted about this already 🙂

The indexes are rebuilding, they take DAYS to rebuild, we're talking 20 million messages.... Messages, Privates Messages are almost done. The archives (18 million) will take 3 days.

Can we get an update, guys? It's been 12 days and the archive search still doesn't work properly(it only shows results from the year 2000). TIA

Thanks! :thumbsup:
I was trying to find a very important old post of mine regarding a recipe for grilled portabello mushrooms. 😉
 
Full text indexes suck to rebuild. Last one I did was on a 8000 char field with 60 odd million records and it took 6 days. Ick.
 
I can't find an archived thread in Off Topic containing a post by Fleshlight with either "Netgear" or "router" - I get "no results."
 
Search is completely borked for me. I was searching for a lite-on DVD burner to buy and couldn't search for one. So I had to make yet another WTB thread. 🙁

Yep. I can't find anything I want to find in the archives. Can we get an indexing?

No kidding.

An initial estimate of 3 days? Now it's 3 days from being a month and still no way to search the archives? :roll:
