You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Just checking if this is part of the work in progress and is a ‘known issue aka someone is working on it’: if I try to search from my phone (iPhone se) there’s no option to select forums, so the search only seems to return results from the website article contents, not the user forums. And it’s the user forums I need searching cos it’s a forum thread I saw a while back.
I think Joe cocker ran off with it.
See the sticky at the top.
Forum search update:
We are developing a custom search function for the site and forum as the default search options are not fit for purpose. There are 9 million posts in the forum database and the built in search drags everything down.
The new search will be independent of the site databases using something called Elastic Stack. It’s going to take some time to bring it online as our estimates are that it will take at least 3 days just to index the forum posts. Current estimates are that it could be 5x faster than the old search and won’t have any impact on site performance while it’s being used.
I’ll update when we are ready to turn it on.
