Search is inconsistent in techtalk

Hi Barry,

 

Any idea why, when I search for carcoon (or Carcoon) in techtalk, with "titles only" ticked or not, I get no results?

 

I made a post just now with Carcoon in the title, and it still doesn't pick it up?

 

As a test I tried a search for bearings and that worked fine *confused*

It's because the search uses a separate database that has been created by extracting key words from all the posts and titles, ie it excludes 'it' 'a' 'of' 'the' etc. This database is refreshed each night whilst most of us sleep, so any posts made during the day will only get indexed that evening/morning (about 02:00, I think).

 

If you try for Carcoon tomorrow, it should find your post.

Ah, OK, thanks Barry

 

I just couldn't believe that there hadn't been any posts with the word carcoon in them in Techtalk the last 2 years!
