The same fault as https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5915064/search-fault-now-solved-after-fifteen-days-everything-is-now-ok from November 2018 is happening again.
New posts created from approx 4am 22/02 to 4am 23/02 are not being returned in Search Results.
On Competitions Time, searching for "win" should return almost every thread. Taking only threads with no replies, there is a gap from 4am 22/02 to just after 4am 23/03. There should be hundreds of threads with "win" between these two that search does not find.
Example threads to search for
Search term Danibius should find https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5968525/e-03-03-win-1-night-hotel-for-2-in-london-first-class-travel-on-east-midlands-trains-only
Search term toothless should find https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5968196/e-17-03-11pm-win-how-to-train-your-dragon-the-hidden-world-augmented-reality-guidebook
As before:
Advanced Search "Titles Only" is working
Advanced Search on a username is not working
Clicking on username then "Find more posts by..." is working
[STRIKE]Search is currently finding today's threads posted after 4am. Last time these threads became lost on the next overnight run. I will report on this tomorrow.[/STRIKE]
Looking at the November thread, last time it took 5 days before MSE even believed the fault was real and affected everyone, a further 5 days before the first attempted remedy and a further 5 days before the fault was finally solved. I hope we have quicker results this time.
