Forum Search Not Working?

[geoffbland]

Is the forum search function working for anyone else? I can find posts from very recently but I can't find anything posted further back than this.

So for example, I get no results for this simple search...

Working on this now. We moved servers to fix some speed issues and I forgot to rebuild the search index. Process has been started, should be about 5 minutes. Sorry about that!

Edit: And done, should be fixed.

Would that account for the "Outage" on Monday morning too?

Yes, our hosting provider has become increasingly unreliable. I think they are oversubscribing their machines and it's leading to major performance issues and downtime. I moved the site to another server with a different hosting provider, so hopefully it will be faster and more reliable.

The RAMpocalypse has hit the internet hosting world (and everyone else) very hard. All these providers are trying to profit off of it.... kind of sad.
