A big chunk of the problem is that the complete text
of all archives for
both cctalk AND cctech is done every night. A rather huge task. CCtalk
and CCtech will be combined at some point in the near future anyways (I
know, I keep saying that, but it'll happen).
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.
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).
