Search Issue

It seems that the search is only indexing posts made since the site move. Anything I search for is after the 30th.

Anyone else getting this?

ETA, the cache may need to be indexed.

Warning - long and boring story ahead: I moved the forum to a new host on Friday night. Everything worked fine except that I needed to rebuild the search index. When I went to do that it made the forum go over it's allotted amount of hourly MySQL queries. I've rebuilt the search index twice in two years so it's not a regular thing but the new host would not lift the limit, even temporarily, to allow me to do it. I talked to a bunch of new hosts and found one that is cheap but doesn't have hourly resource limits like that so I moved it again tonight. I can't rebuild the search index until DNS finishes updating because during the process it will forward me to the URL which still points to the old host. Tomorrow everything will be updated and I will attempt to rebuild the search index. If that works, which it should, then I think everything will be fine with this new host.

Short version: Search will work again on Tuesday hopefully.

Thank you, rucker.

I'm still getting the Down for maintenance page on my iPhone even after clearing cache and cookies. Any ideas?
