Search failed (7)

03 Oct 23: One server has been relocated, the server currently doesn't have a public IP address in the meantime. I wrote some additional tunnel code running separately to handle this. When the server is engaged the connection is 5600+ days uniform (since around 24 July 2008). In the unlikely case I disengaged the server because of some problem the retention is 1200-3800 days depending on newsgroup. If you experience any issue please let me know.

29 Nov 23: Because of encrypted and "obfuscated" flood mass posted by few nzb websites and newzbin-like communities using usenet servers as private storage for their members to download the posts - the situation with the content is pretty chaotic, since posts are disguised in such a way, that users must use the satellite ecosystem (whish is not a part of Usenet) exclusively to download them, when the website disappears - the encrypted scattered posts just eat usenet providers' disk space uselessly. If you can't find something specific please let me know what exactly you can't find for me to check how it is possible to retain the posts. Legible posts shouldn't be affected at all, let me know if you notice anything missing.

08 Aug 24: After being unchanged for many years the search service communication protocol had to be updated a few times in part to resolve a server side set feature limitation and properly handle trial searches on the relocated server. The searches themselves are not affected and it looks like the work is now complete.

I'm getting the following error:
"Search failed (7)
Your license eligibility period has ended. Purchasing a new license is needed to regain search service access."

I just renewed my license on November 18, so that can't be the issue... Help?

Me, too. I'm getting Search Failed (7), even though I just renewed my registration in August.

There is a slowly failing hard drive which I was preparing for replacement.

During restart to replace the server version with one which allows to backup data without restarting the server it showed cyclic error on recent data, so to prevent headers loss I copied settings with affected data from another backup instance which is not in search server list so its user list is not current.

In such a case it was needed to sync user list explicitly, I forgot since there was no such occurrence in the past.

(7) is the number associated with that particular instance.

All should work now.
