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.

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:

― 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.

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?

my job is convincing people to write good single-purpose domain-specific services right now but it makes sense since they're all operations every damn app does and they all implement it different ways. half of those ways are to just hammer on the same database tables 24/7
ilx is not any of these things, thank god

search is still hanging sometimes for me - seems to be specific threads that are causing it, e.g. i searched for all threads started by iatee and the first 2 pages of results loaded fine but the 3rd will not
