Searching the forums seems to be somewhat bugged at the moment.
Pick a fairly common keyword like "single". You'll get plenty of results since the forum refresh. Plenty of results from 2004 and prior. But anything in between those two is spotty, if it returns anything at all from the period. And that's a pretty big period to leave out.
I'm thinking a search index table got corrupted during the refresh.
Ok, command line rebuild of the post index of 2.3M posts seems to have fixed it. Let me know what you find.
And WRT slow posting, I wonder if that has cleared up? The index rebuild took days and days. I could see things being slow in that time. LMK
