Problems with Searching -

When I do a search it is not showing the most current results - for example I search on kosher - go to the search options and request newest first - it reorganizes the list but the newest item is from 03/21 - and their have been new htreads added since then -

Thanks in advance

    Any idea on when the search tool will be fixed?

      The product manager, JustineR, is giving updates on search engine status in this sticky topic. Hope she keeps it up.

        Is this still broken?

          It seems to be working now - instead 3-4 day old messages - they are items relatively fresh less than 10 minutes -

            seems broken again - search newest seems to be 24 hours old - when it used to be only minutes old -

              I'm still having trouble. Quite frustrating!

      Yes, I'm seeing long delays before new material can be 'found" by the new search engine. A Place record that was created March 18 has just shown in in the last couple days. New threads that I started on March 23 are not searchable and do not appear in search results. The threads that I started on March 21 and 22 are just now appearing in the search results.

      This sucks. Previously Place records were available in less than 30 minutes. Topics were available almost instantly.
