New search test feedback thread

[Shorty82]

Which is still slow and seemingly doesnt work.. Now of course I cant be sure of that, but I find it amazing there are zero posts in the photography forum having to do with 'storage' . Now maybe there arent, but sure seems suprising.

That's because the search doesn't work yet, even though they've been working on it for a LONG time. This thread and a few others testify to that.

Switch to the California Gold skin (bottom left of your screen) and do the search. It's slow, but it'll find it. I just tried it and there's some links.

The point is that by not using the built-in vBulletin search feature, the message boards themselves are not ground to a halt by the act of indexing the postings for search... instead that work load is off-loaded to someone else's servers (BoardTracker's), so the DIS' servers can focus on providing us end-users the fastest reading and posting performance.

It works if you try it.

Another update, the search feature on the board works now.
New(er) data will start appearing in the next 36 hours.
(We will also be working on the performance of search in the coming weeks).

Any update this past month??

My latest test shows post up to Nov 23rd. Will this be how the seach functions or will they get to "real time" at some point??

A search for your own posts from the last week, containing the word "picture(s)"

So at the moment it already has posts from the last week.
While coverage is still getting better, it already has new data, it already allows you to search for replies, it already allows you to search for posts of a certain individual...

Thoughts? remarks?

 

[Dan Murphy]

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

(See below attached pic)
We will check it periodically in the near future to see if there are consistency issues. In the meantime, can you confirm that you used the correct (California Gold) template?

 

[Dan Murphy]

Did not use CG. I forgot. We are still limited to that one?

 

[Dan Murphy]

Any progress updates??

Ok, the Search won't go father back than March 3, 2007. My Search listed 234 pages, but I'm stuck on page 40, and it won't budge. I keep clicking "Next" , and clicking in the next page number, and it looks like it's searching, but it keeps going bak to page 40.

I just searched, and a thread came up from 03'

What's the URL of the search results?

Note: we are upgrading the infrastructure of the new version of BoardTracker, a move which will greatly expedite the speed of searches. Hope to finish the upgrade in the next few hours..

I'm sorry but Boardtracker really sucks at being a search function for vBulletin.

How is that?
What do you fail to do or missing?
