The thing I don't get about this is: I would
imagine any rational
implementation would keep the old set of indexes alone and in a usable
state for searching while the new set was being generated, even if it
takes 20 hours. Then, once the new indexes were finished, the new ones
would be switched into play and the old ones deleted.
You would think that's
the way it was done. I have not done any detailed
troubleshooting on it. What I can say for sure is this... the indexing
starts off somewhere around 2am ISTR. It is obvious that it is indexing both
cctalk and cctech in separate runs. It runs until around 10:30pm or 11pm at
night. During that time, searches for anything return a null result. If I
kill off the index processes, a search for the same word does yield results.
Draw your own conclusions.
So I don't understand why search only works
between 8pm and midnight (or
whatever the small window is that someone stated at the beginning of this
thread).
Because that's how long it takes the reindex process to run... from
around
2am to around 10:30pm (CST {GMT-6}). It's a horrible design, but... soone or
later I'll have to dig in to it further.
