About Dat Search Problem....

[Guest guest]

Hey, folks... I did some checking around and discovered we're not the

only ones having a problem with the search function. Apparently, it's

Yahoo-wide.

MESSAGE SEARCH UPDATE

We’re painfully aware that this is the bug that will not die. And

while there is some good news, it’s balanced by some not as good news

(caused mainly by the logs problem):

- The Good News: Approximately 8000 groups have been migrated to the new

message search system and for these groups, message search is working

correctly again (with a couple caveats described in the Bad News

below).

- The Bad News I: The new message system also relies on the same queuing

system as the logs. So messages posted since the logs began to backlog

(for most groups on the 19th) won’t appear in search, even for groups on

the new system.

- The Bad News II: No additional groups can be migrated until the queuing

system is fixed.

- The Bad News III: A couple (of the nine) servers the new message search

system is running on are behaving flakily. So sometimes it may be

necessary to repeat a search a couple of the time to get the right

results (though we hope to address that problem soon).

Serious gnui-sance, but at least they're working on it.
