What's up with search?

[Bruce]

It only turns up threads posted within the last week?

I believe all posts prior to the change in vBulletin 3 are now gone.

Well all the threads are obviously still here, apparently just not in the search.

Is it because of the upgrade, or the way it's set up? Kind of an annoyance.

jmiller, no... because early on in the upgrade we could see all the posts ever made. Remember trenz lobbying to increase the maximum search results?

sorry, i meant they were gone from the search results, for whatever reason.
i was pretty drunk when i made my previous post.

I think I need to rebuild the search index within the admin control panel. I'll do that soon and all previous posts should be searchable again.

I was also not very clear jmiller... I meant that early on in the upgrade were were able to click "View more posts by X" and see all the posts X had made. So they weren't left behind in the upgrade.
[edit]
In fact, that still works. (Maybe Peo rebuilt the index already...)

No, it hasn't been done yet...

I noticed, I was looking for that post Robert made about the custom handwritten fonts and it only found recent stuffs.

Search index is currently being rebuilt (70,000 first posts have been rebuilt so far). It takes a loooooong time to rebuild it with all the posts we have here, so it might not be completely finished today.

OK, thanks.

And as far as how long it takes, I can imagine. Try doing it with 9 million posts.

Search index has been rebuilt, forgot to reply here when it was ready. If you notice any problems searching please let me know.
