Yeah, it looks like only posts made in the last day or three are being indexed.

Currently rebuilding search indices. Taking FOREVER. But I just did a search that found results from 2002/2003, so it looks like it's working...

I imagine that indexing nearly every word contained in every surviving post and topic title since 2001 will take a while and eat a lot of resources.

Thanks for checking into it, Sylvus.

All of those Phoenix Suns references must be taxing the system! A file rebuild has been needed for awhile I think. Glad it's being done!

Finally finished, a week later.

Every post that exists here should have been re-indexed, so have fun digging up old stuff.
