sweetness Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 For the last week or so I haven't been been able to search the forum, when I enter a search it just loads and loads and it never makes a connection to the results page. Is it just my shitty internet or is there more to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcano62 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I've had the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The search is destroyed. It has always been fucked though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcano62 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Nah man it worked well for me about 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I hate to this but what volcano is saying is true. Used the search function few times and worked like a charm. Now it's fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 yeah, having the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 But honestly here:Just us. There's every chance this is somehow related to the size of the DB.Fun fact - the reason the search is slow here is that there are almost 3 million posts in the one table. There's an archiving feature to move old posts to a seperate table, but this hadn't been turned on, ever.About a month ago, I switched archiving on and ran the job. It's only about 20% complete... because archiving is set to run in the background. So at this rate, it won't make much of an impact for at least another few months.I'll ask Invision if they can do something to speed the process up. At the very least, once it's done we'll have a useable search feature. At most, it might fix this Internal Server Error issue.http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?/topic/198646-server-move-report-any-issues-here/?p=3435514 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman2000 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The search always sucked dick here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I've always had a problem with the search. Pretty much given up on it.Volcano is just kissing the mods' asses telling them it was working 2 weeks ago. He's probably drunk anyway. Seriously, though, always problems with the search. Cheers if you can sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 As I pointed out in another thread, I've implemented a fix for the search, but we won't see any improvement in performance for some time yet (months). I'm trying to see if there's something we can do to speed the process up, but at the moment, while a large number of older posts are being moved off onto a separate table, searches will remain impractical/unuseable.
