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!

So, by allowing my entries to be searched, I am not making them show up in other search engines, only the dreamwidth one, right? I'm pretty sure I think that's what you said, just checking.

I have no idea if this is connected, but approximately since this code push, the option to disable cut tags on the reading page and/or in individual journals is kind of messed up.
Only enabling it for reading pages has no effect, but enabling it for journals gives the same result as if one were to choose to enable it for both.

Just thought I'd mention it somewhere. Sorry.

My friends are weird. Can you do anything about that?

Just wanted to say the new search system is awesome. :)

That's great that we'll be able to allow searching from other DW accounts but still have outside search engines blocked. Thanks!

I am not sure if this is code-push related, but -- I have the setting on to display all journal pages in my style, and it looks like it no longer works when clicking on cut tags; i.e., if I go to an individual journal entry by the cut link instead of the reply link, it doesn't add the "style=mine" anymore.

Thanks for all your hard work on the site!

I first noticed this Saturday night, but it's still happening: Whenever I click on my username to check out my own page, I get the downtime notice. ???

Thanks!
