The same fault as https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5915064 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/showthread.php?t=5968525
Search term toothless should find https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5968196

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.
