When I go into the chat lobby and use the search facility, no results are returned, even for strings I know are present.

It should be working again now.

See Chat search is returning no results on main meta, where a dev has just posted that a fix is underway. At least for me, the chat search facility is back to normal.

    I've just tested it. It's still not working properly.

  • Results seem patchy for me.

    @Valorum Hmm. The answer on main meta suggested the fix might take a while to complete. Let's wait a bit and see if it's fully resolved in the next hour or two.

  • Re-indexing is complete now. Let me know if you see issues.

  • @Adam - It's only showing up to April 2015. I'll leave it a while longer, but I thought you'd want to know.

  • @Adam - I don't know if this helps, but the range of dates produced had been slowly expanding as of a couple of hours ago, but it stalled out at some point since then.

  • @WadCheber Good to know, thanks. I don't know too much about how chat indexing works. This may be a side-effect of the reindexing earlier? I don't think it should be, but hey. Fingers crossed that I don't have to do anything. ;) It's not throwing exceptions like earlier, so whatever is going on looks to be a new problem.

  • This should be totally resolved now per Nick Craver.
