[Infinitron]

Broken search --> more people creating duplicate threads for things. It really rustles my jimmies

It only returns results from within about a day from current date making it completely unusable.

I mean, FFS...

Pillars of Eternity used to be called Project Eternity, which makes it a useful test case.




Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was mentioned more times than that.

Search for about anything you know should return multiple non-recent hits, a game title, characteristic phrase, mentions of something by a poster known to write a lot about this particular something (like myself and Morrowind or "use based").

At least something good came out of this.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

That just gives him a perfect excuse to go on a therapeutic merging rampage, though.

 

[Taluntain]

Should be fixed.

Just merge them all into the Search Megathread

Works again, thanks Taluntain

 

[AwesomeButton]

A short guide on how to use the search function on rpgcodex.net/
1. Type into a google.com search box: "rpgcodex.net: " and append whatever it is you are searching for.
2. Press 'Enter'

 

[Ptosio]

Will it be fixed? It's important.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Search is one of the most taxing things on the server, so... umm... not likely.

Also I'm lazy.

 

[Nevill]

Search is broken again.

Take this thread.
http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/lp-cyoa-spiral.94293/

Search for all posts by Kayerts in the thread.
http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?search/30695832/

This post is not on the list:
http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/lp-cyoa-spiral.94293/page-88#post-3734553

I suppose there is a lot more posts that the search is missing.

 

[Taluntain]

If any post moves or mergers happened in the thread, that's likely the reason. IIRC in such cases it takes a search reindex to cover a thread completely.

 

[Sceptic]

So.... can we say it's all Infinitron's fault?

 

[Nevill]

If any post moves or mergers happened in the thread, that's likely the reason. IIRC in such cases it takes a search reindex to cover a thread completely.

So... is it unfixable or what? It is a massive inconvenience to search 100+ pages threads manually, as one can imagine.

How often does a reindex happen?

What qualifies as moving a post? This is one forum that has next to no active moderator involvement, so I can't think of any merges happening.

 

[Taluntain]

I run a reindex whenever I upgrade the search plugin. Bug me in a couple of days.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

Still seems like there are a lot of problems with the forum search, often have to resort to Google or just look manually.

For example, was searching for this newspost:

http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...at-its-sold-over-half-a-million-copies.94123/

Did a search (title only, News & content only, most recent first) for "Swen" and most recent thread was from 2013. Same for "Vincke". I now view Codex search as a bit of a lottery - I try it first to see if I strike it lucky, then soon move on to other methods.

You've got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

I searched "is broken."

Nothing interesting happened.

What is the point of this thread?

I run a reindex whenever I upgrade the search plugin. Bug me in a couple of days.

Bugging.

Perhaps something got broken during the latest engine modifications? I don't remember these issues for the last 2 years I was actively using the search.

 

[Taluntain]

Everything's possible. I've put it on my to-do now. Bug me again if it isn't done by the end of the week.

I searched for "intitle: spector" but this thread (which was the one I was looking for) wasn't among the results:
