I suspect that they went with something that is halfway working correctly rather than nothing at all. It's as if half of the database is "missing" - - but a few simple techniques confirm that it's "all still there" - - just not indexed.<BR><BR>Here's an example:<BR><BR>http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgTopics.jsp?fid=2&start=34900<BR><BR>still takes you back roughly one year ago.<BR><BR>But various searches come up with about half the anticipated results. And it's not as simple as more recent stuff is indexed, and older is not.<BR><BR>There are huge indexing gaps in July and August.<BR>

In addition to no indexing before October 2001, there are big gaps in the indexing in late August-early September and late July-mid-August. I can't say if there are others or not.<BR><BR>See http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&tid=1400466<BR><BR>for example.<BR><BR>Maybe it can all be fixed when I get back, in ten days.<BR><BR>I will send this to [email protected]<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

These indexing holes are still not fixed. And the indexing of this particular thread is very puzzling. It CAN be retrieved by searching the word "text" or "indexing", but NOT by searching "database" nor "lynlor" nor "October".<BR><BR>It's as if some threads are marked to be indexed as "title only".<BR><BR>This may explain why some threads appear to be missing. If they are indexed as title only, it will be much harder to find them.<BR>
