Title: Search might be broken
Post by: SirRawThunderMan on August 01, 2020, 05:02:56 AM
For the last couple of days, everything I type into the search bar gets me no results. At first, I figured that was my searches being a bit too esoteric, but I've just tried with some more common terms (saber, TCSS, Luke, Yoda, ROTJ, Graflex) and those produced no results, either. I tried both with the quick and advanced search, same results.

Conclusion: I think something's borked with the search bar.

Oops. Yeah, I had to disable the search index for an upgrade and forgot to enable and rebuild it.
I'll get that fixed this weekend.

Thanks for calling it out

I noticed too and figured it was an index...that said, often times google searches are more accurate as long as you tag them FX sabers :)

There are frequent error messages like this:

Due to high stress on the server, the search function has been automatically and temporarily disabled. Please try again in a short while.

I get that every so often as well.

It might happen if the search engine bots are pounding the site right at the time of your search.    I can't see any other reason why the server would trigger the load reduction routines....

but no, search is not actually disabled.
