Archives Search Broken

Guys,

ASPSeek appears to be kaput.   Try this search:


http://archives.postgresql.org/s.cgi?q=Tablespaces&cs=utf-8&st=7&ul=http%3A%2F%2Farchives.postgresql.org%2Fpgsql-hackers%2F%25&dt=back&dp=1m&o=0&ps=20

Returns nothing, even though there are approx 100 posts on tablespaces in the
last couple weeks.

Hmm,


http://www.pgsql.ru/db/pgsearch/index.html?q=Tablespaces&tmpl=%F0%D2%C9%D7%C5%D4&ps=20&set=&group=2&site=archives.postgresql.org
returns 877 hits.

Yes, very odd. I've emailled John about this.

Though strangely it now seems to work...

I still get nothing.  I've tried on both Konqueror & Firefox in case it's a
browser issue.   Odd thing is, the search returns in about 0.5 seconds ...
which is *awfully* fast considering I'm on wireless.   It's like it's not
even running a search, just immediately returning "no results".

AHA!   Found the problem, I think.   I was assuming that "in the last month"
meant "in the last 30 days".    I think ASPSeek interprets "in the last
month" to mean *this* month, i.e. March.   This would explain the results I'm
getting for several queries.

In addition it may take a week or so for new posts to get indexed. There
is a mechanism for feeding new data directly into the index using an XML
data feed, however this will take significant work to implement for the
archives. In the meantime there is a simple weekly index cycle.

I've been bitten by that before myself...though I didn't know it since I
gave up and went to a different search engine after a couple of
attempts.  I tend to agree with Josh's interpretation that in the last
month implies the last 30 days or some such similar timeframe. Can we
change the wording on that to maybe "in the current month" or "in this
month" or if we can get fancy just print the month name... "in March"..
though we'd need to rebuild any referencing pages once a month....

Nah, that's not it I don't think. It looks more to me like it's not
picking up newer posts - even if u pick last 3 months the newest it finds
is January.
I'll take a look tomorrow.

Or, if possible, change it to a .php file and have it auto-changed via
simple php code ...
