Hi everyone,

Since the recent upgrade, we've been experiencing problems with the DNA search. In order to rectify this, we're currently re-indexing the search. This re-index of all DNA content will take 2-3 days to complete.

During this time the search engine will work erratically. Only content that has been through the index process will appear, so you may find that during this period DNA search doesn't retrieve all content on the site.

During the re-index the servers are likely to be slower than usual. We apologise for the reduction in performance, unfortunately it is unavoidable.

ok

I spoke to Jim earlier. He said that this time they were processing the index in batches, in order to try to avoid the problems thatwe experienced last time the search was indexed (after the upgrade).

Apologies for the very non-technical explanation there, I'm sure Jim could explain it much better - but he's away re-indexing the search! smiley
