Someone else doing a big search

The index file could potentially be screwed if it were created when the site was running when that happened. I mean, I don't know whether it would or not, but I've never thought through whether it would cause issues. Certainly the initial job reads big fuckoff lumps of the database at a time and indexes that then moves on to the next; the database changing under its feet could render some of the already-created index incorrect, although it'd be up to Apache Lucene whether or not that cause the whole thing problems or not.

Am I right in saying this was all TEN YEARS AGO now?
― Keith, Wednesday, 14 September 2016 21:32 (seven years ago) link
is it just me or is the spacing all screwed up on the search page, like the css isn't loading right or something

Well clearly ten years on this place hasn't changed.

I just bought a new Android tab, and now I'm seeing banner ads on ILX even I log in with Chrome. The tablet has Android 6.0, I didn't seen any ads while using Chrome on my older tablet, which had an older version of Android.

Here's an example, I'm logged in, but I still see the as.
― Tuomas, Friday, 7 October 2016 16:37 (seven years ago) link
not sure why, but half of the things I search for cause ILX to hang.
for instance, I searched for Lost Boys, and it comes up no problem.
I search for any variant of "let's shit our pants to something new", even without the word 'shit', and none of them work, except "Let's shit", and doesn't return that thread at all. I tried "our pants", "something new", "shit our pants", and it just hung for minutes at a time.

Don't know if it's related, but threads have been taking a long time to load the last couple of days.

help! the site is doing that thing where every last bookmark I've ever had is showing up at the top of SNA and I can't make them go away. I tried changing the Use Traditional Bookmarks setting, but it didn't do anything. How do I fix this? What am I doing to cause this?
― Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 13:20 (seven years ago) link
hmmm, well I think I fixed this for now. I changed the Google account in my Chrome browser and that seemed to help, not sure why.
― Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 13:41 (seven years ago) link
the search function is still super buggy and slow fyi

Even though I'm logged in, I still see a banner ad on this thread:
Metallica ARE...Hardwired…To Self-Destruct
It doesn't matter much to me, but it's strange that's the only thread (so far) where that happens.
FYI

This keeps happening to me a lot when I use Chrome on Android, as I mentioned above. Not on my home tabletop computer though (I use Firefox with Adblock Plus).

search: it depends on what you search.
e.g. search for Zimmerman: it hangs forever/timeoutsearch for Trayvon: it hangs forever/timeout
search for energy: immediate resultssearch for zooropa: immediate results (it's not that the end of the alphabet is slower)search for Ziegler: immediate result (it's not last names starting with capital letters either)
― StanM, Friday, 18 November 2016 09:48 (seven years ago) link
^ googleproofed = no search results? But then I DID find that one thread I couldn't find here by going to google and searching for the same thing and site:ilxor.com so I don't know
― StanM, Friday, 18 November 2016 09:52 (seven years ago) link
sounds like it might be thread specific causing problems
― Mordy, Friday, 18 November 2016 18:11 (seven years ago) link
yeah my search problems vary depending on the search term
― k3vin k., Friday, 18 November 2016 19:36 (seven years ago) link
Have rebuilt the indexes the search system uses. Zimmerman and Trayvon now both working for me; can people try things that were broken for them?
― stet, Friday, 18 November 2016 22:30 (seven years ago) link
I still can't get "clickhole" to search
― rob, Friday, 18 November 2016 22:33 (seven years ago) link
"trayvon" still broken for me too

searching "2015 albums" also not working -- this is what brought this to my attention a few weeks ago when i was trying to find the year end poll

Let me check i'm doing the same search as you — when I try it's instant. I'm searching:

i'm doing thread titles, not posts. i also was not using quotes -- however when i do use quotes (and search most relevant, all boards) it works!
― k3vin k., Friday, 18 November 2016 23:06 (seven years ago) link
just tried again. 2015 albums, searching thread titles. quotes = works. no quotes = doesn't work

The search engine is Apache Lucene. Whatever works with Lucene will work with it. I didn't do anything special on top of it. Here is a page that describes some of the stuff you ought to be able to do, although to be fair, it may be that it does more now than it did back when this stuff was done:
https://lucene.apache.org/core/2_9_4/queryparsersyntax.html
― Keith, Friday, 18 November 2016 23:21 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, I think I've fannied it up though, by leaving it on, er, v2.3.2 while upgrading to Java 8. I see the lucene lib's on v6 now. Should do something about that.

Hey Zing is crashing on load for me now. I tried to check for an update but none was listed.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 19 November 2016 05:08 (seven years ago) link
Sorry not on load. It loads, but when I select a board, it crashes to desktop (or whatever the equiv is on a phone), this is on iOS
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 19 November 2016 05:09 (seven years ago) link
Which iOS?
― stet, Saturday, 19 November 2016 09:26 (seven years ago) link
fine for me in ios10
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 19 November 2016 10:23 (seven years ago) link
TBH re: Lucene, I only used it because the database didn't support full text indices at the time, so ideally a pretty complicated mechanism involving batch processes and all manner of stuff keeping the search index up-to-date in line with the database could be removed and replaced with a bit of SQL.

That describes most Enterprise Architecture tbh.
/replaces whole thing with 19 micro services.
― stet, Saturday, 19 November 2016 13:12 (seven years ago) link
Ha, well I don't really buy the micro services trend, but certainly, perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

The Weeknd thread is not loading for me on Zing, strangely. Maybe it's the stars?
