FYI - Rebuilding Search Index


Recommended Posts

  • Administrator

Folks, this sucks and there's no way to sell it any differently.  In order to correct a problem that manifested this morning related to our software upgrade last week, I am having to rebuild the search index for TGO.  This process takes about 3-5 days to complete.  My best guess is that it will be done some time late Friday evening.

While this process runs, some of the search features will not work as expected.  Namely...

  • The search for New Content / Activity Streams will only show new posts and threads from right now, forward, until the  index rebuilds.  Once it rebuilds, it will show new content from prior to this moment.  

    Think of it as "temporary amnesia" for the forums.  It'll know all of the new stuff it meets between now and when it finishes, but it will not know the old friends from prior.  Give it time and it'll start to remember.
     
  • Likewise searching for content of any sort prior to this moment will be hit-or-miss until the index is rebuilt.

 

I know we just went through all of this last weekend but there was a problem of some sort that finally reared its ugly head this morning and caused our outage.  I was able to work around it, but we've got to square off and face this ugly bit of work for a few days to get to a better place.

Please bear with us and accept my apologies for the inconvenience.  If there were any other way, I'd have taken it.

I don't know for certain that it's safe to extrapolate anything from this, but we are already at 12% completion and only 4-hours into the effort to re-index the search database.  If this trend continues we might be done with this nasty business as soon as Thursday afternoon.
