Search changes

Hi all,

I just rolled out some search changes. The two main things you should notice: search indexing is much quicker now (it updates with new content every 15 minutes) and also now comments (on paid accounts) are indexed.

Thank you for all of your patience with search. We outgrew our old trusty search machine and it's now retired. The new one is much larger, has faster disks, and should hold us in good standing for a while as we grow.

I'll be around all day and watching this post. Please let me know if you see any problems!

This is a great change! I was pleasantly surprised to see new search results when I put in regular interests I search for. Thank you for all your efforts!

"also now comments (on paid accounts) are indexed"

As in we can now search for public comments made by a certain user?

It still does not search Cyrillic text. What a shame.

Um, I don't want my comments to be indexed and searchable. Any way to turn that off?

Wow! A lot of people, though...

Help!! I'm using Practicality, and have had no issues, have done nothing to the layout any time recently... and the sidebar is mostly off-screen on the left when I'm on my reading page. (It's fine in my journal though).

Have a screenshot: photo DWborked_zps663b5db5.jpg

The paler bit all the way to the left is my sidebar which should be sitting in that dark green blank space.

Here's a screenshot of what it ought to look like: photo DWfine_zps81378546.jpg

This has only happened to me this morning, and I know I've done nothing, so it's got to be someone else, somewhere. Help?
