As part of the recent forum upgrade and upgrade on the server we now have access to more powerful and faster search capabilities.

I have just set the process running for the whole site's content to be re-indexed. This is going to take some time. This means some things you search for may not come up for a while. It looks like it is starting with the oldest threads first. For example, currently (at the time of writing) it can't find any references to "Formentor".

Hopefully, it won't take too long, but it's going through 20 years of content!

It's a completely new search tech, so if you spot any odd behaviour please post here.

I'll update when the re-index has finished, but this may not be until the morning.

One of the new features is the flagging of similar posts when you create a new thread. This is to avoid the same questions being asked repeatedly.

Another is the inclusion of "similar threads" below the thread you are on. This will help with discovery of related content.

Any comments / observations please let us know below.

Thanks,

Scott
