    Resolved [RESOLVED] Posts not appearing when searching

    Hi,

    I just tried searching my latest posts to see how many I had in the past couple of days but the first result I received was dated December 6th and I have had several posts since then.

    Thanks,


    Nightwalker

    Hey,

    Just go to your own profile page, click on the statistics tab, and then click the link that says "Find all posts by Nightwalker83".

    That should give you the information that you need.

    Re: Posts not appearing when searching

    Hmm, having looked at that page, I can confirm that VB Forums "thinks" your last post was on the 6th December. Are you sure you have made posts since then? If so, can you find the threads that they were in? Perhaps the thread was deleted.

    Hmmm, that is a little strange. I can't think of a reason why that would be happening.

    Hopefully Joe or Brad will be able to shed some light on this.

    Here is the link to my recent posts as you see the first one listed is dated the 6th of December. However, posts after that are missing.

    Edit:

    Changed the link to link to my profile page.

    Oh well! Here are my latest posts when searching via the forum search page. As you can see all my recent posts appear.

    Edit:

    I think there must be something wrong with the "Find all posts by" function because it is not working while the forum search function displays all of my latest posts without problems.

    Hmm... As I said before, it wouldn't last for a long time.

    When JP reaches here on this thread, that link might be expired.

    Nightwalker, are you able to provide direct links to a thread that you have posted in, that isn't appearing in the search results in. Without this, the admins aren't going to be able to help you.

    It's the "Find all posts by" function that is the problem! For me it doesn't show my posts since the 6th of December but when I checked yours it showed you had several posts today.

    Edit:

    Here is a thread where I have posted several times since the 19th of December. I hope that will be of use in figuring out why my posts aren't appearing in the "Find all posts by" search.

    Yes, but the problem is the posts I've made after 4:00pm 06/12/2010 have been cut from the list.

    Re: Posts not appearing when searching

    If I generate a search via the forum search function it displays nearly all my recent posts! Maybe something is stopping new posts from being registered by the "Find all posts by" script?

    Re: Posts not appearing when searching

    I am wondering if one of the forum staff were using a filter and forgot to remove it?

    Edit:

    While searching on google for a solution to problem I found this:

    That seems to be the same kind of problem I'm experiencing with my profile.

    From posts I have managed to find they suggest that there might be a problem with the database?

    I found this on the vbulletin forum. It suggests that google might be responsible. Although, I don't know if vbforums uses adsense?

    Did one of the Admin work on server around the date of April 9th 2011? I just checked my posts and it jumps from the December 6th 2010 to April 9th 2011 within two posts.

    Re: Posts not appearing when searching

    That is the case when clicking on your username then "Find more posts by ...", but using the Search page gives the correct results (with results as Posts or Threads).

    I've checked a few other members, and there is no problem with them.

    Strange.

    Yeah, and what is weird is that as I stated in my previous post it seems to jump from December 6th 2010 to April 9th 2011 for no apparent reason. Hopefully Brad will be able to inform us of the goings on forum maintenance on 9th of April.

    I don't think forum maintenance is the issue... the posts are there (the search page finds them), and there isn't a problem for the other members I checked.

    Hopefully Brad (or the other admins) will be able to work it out.

    I'll ask Heidi to take a look at this tread. It might be something simple like an index that needs rebuilt.

    Heidi took a look at this. One of the index tables has an issue. She will run "clean up" at a slower time of the day for this forum. That should fix the issue.

    Stay tuned.

    Although, like other things on the planet the forum is not immune from breaking or having problems and should have a checkup every so often to make sure everything is working as it should be.
