Search function messing up

Post by odin_mage » Wed Oct 05, 2005 8:16 pm

Searching for certain songs that I found a week ago, now bring up no results. They show up when I search the artist, though some artists don't show up. What could be the problem?

The search goes through the database.
Everytime a person puts a new amv up the information they put down is added into the database.
sometimes people might not know the artist, or the song, so they wil put down "unknown".
This might solve part of your question.
The other part is despite the org's best attempts, there still are some song titles that are slightly different.
So "in the end" might turn up a different result than "In the end".
that's what I think at least. So consider case sensitivity when you search.

Search the song "Always" by "Saliva." Let me know if anything comes up for you, it did a while ago, I go back every once in a while and search songs and stuff to see what's new.

Hey,

It seems that an index was broken. It's fixed now and works. Thanks for letting us know. Sorry for the trouble.

Can many indexes be broken? How does it all work, is the problem solved or could other stuff still come up missing? Not trying to bother you.

Hey odin_mage,

I did an "analyze table" on all tables in the database. They should all be fixed. I you are having additional troubles, you can report them and I'll look into it some more.
