code push shortly

[mark]

Hi -- the code push I promised earlier today will be starting in about 10 minutes. The site will be completely down for approximately 15 minutes while I do some database updates.

In happy news, the new search system finished its final tweaks and updates as of a little while ago so it's ready to go. When the site comes back up, you will be able to visit the search page (linked in the Explore menu) and search over 2.1 million entries that are public and currently searchable.

A further 900,000 entries are public but will not be in the search index because we have automatically detected your current "minimize my journal's inclusion in search engines" setting. If, after the code push, you would like to make your entries available to site search, you can visit the Manage Account page, Privacy tab, and make that change. Your entries will show up in the index within the following 24 hours.

I'll update this post when the push has been completed, and any issues you run up against should be posted here. Thank you!

Edit: Update complete. Please let us know of any breakages or anything weird!

I had a question about the language too. The option about who can search your journal, does "everyone" mean everyone with a Dreamwidth account, every paid user, or everyone including people who don't have accounts?

Thanks!

Users with accounts.

(I should also specify, since mark reminded me -- someone involved needs to have a paid account: either the journal being searched, or the account doing the searching. So, if your account is paid, and you have "any logged-in user can search" set, anybody can search it; if the journal you're looking at isn't paid, but your account is, you can search it; if both you and the journal you're looking at aren't paid, nobody can search it.)

Great, that makes sense! Thanks for the speedy answer!

Happy to be of service!
