Description jcatchpoole 2000-11-14 16:30:01 UTC
The search index does not appear to be being rebuilt - I believe
it should be done once/day ?  Currently, after running a search,
the following appears at the bottom of the search results page :

The search index is about 26 days old.

Actually, it looks like it's been longer -- I think the last time it was
rebuilt was :

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     25304905 Sep 22 17:30 swish.idx

...

I'll add the appropriate crontab entry and see if that resolves this
tomorrow.

thanks --

Ed

The crontab entry didn't resolve it.  We're working on it.

For CollabNet ppl reference, the issuezilla issue is

Edk's looking into it.  He hopes to be able to look into it over the weekend.

If we're looking at replacing the search utility, we should probably nail
down the features/functionality that we would like and need. Here's a start -

- Must be able to selectively include or exclude specific sets of "stuff" to
search.  eg - I would like to have check boxes such that I can search *only*
the nbdev mailing list archives.  Or nbdev + nbusers, but not the www site.
Or only www but no mailing lists.  Etc.

- should be able to not index useless stuff, like cvs msg archives.

- would be nice to have a configurable .conf file or something that we
have access to, and can tweak not only things like look and feel, but
config options of the search utility itself (number of hits returned/page,
... etc)

Status as of today:
Michael Stack is using Swish-e to index the site.
He is indexing the site in small slivers and then merging the results.
He is pretty confident that this will work and that the results will be posted
late tonight or early tomorrow.  This is based on an at least 15 min.
conversation with him, following up through email and on IRC.  It's later in the
day and he still feels confident.

The index has been rebuilt and is live on Netbeans.  Yay!!!
Comment 9 jcatchpoole 2000-11-27 19:03:59 UTC
Indexes are being rebuilt, and working OK.  However the returned hits include
"project/www/" in the path, so for example following a hit I end up at
  http://www.netbeans.org/project/www/articles/31releasenotes.html
instead of
  http://www.netbeans.org/articles/31releasenotes.html

The first does actually work, but probably should not be used/visible
to the user.
Comment 10 Unknown 2000-12-02 02:18:59 UTC
This is due to the way we deal with vhosts in the current instantiation.  The
two ways to reference URLS on Netbeans is known and will be worked on in future
releases, but I'd rather not have to track it on a week to week basis at this
time.
Comment 11 jcatchpoole 2000-12-04 10:58:59 UTC
Fair enough - though since this is new behaviour, and a similar
bug was fixed at the time of the move to this version of Tigris,
I thought this might have been the same problem, reintroduced.
Comment 12 jcatchpoole 2001-05-29 12:03:52 UTC
Not sure why this is market resolved "later".  The
original report of the srch index not being rebuilt
was fixed, my suggestions for additonal search features
are now included in seperate issues (#9721- #9724) ...
Marking closed.
Comment 13 jcatchpoole 2001-06-05 12:14:30 UTC
hmm, seems it ignored my closed/resolved, it is still closed/later.
trying to close/resolve.
Comment 14 jcatchpoole 2001-06-05 12:14:56 UTC
fixed
Comment 15 Marian Mirilovic 2009-11-08 02:27:01 UTC
We recently moved out from Collabnet's infrastructure
