Search brings back same results for anything?

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.

Anyone seeing seacrh bring back thousands of results no matter what subject is entered? Pop in 'jethro' for 2 days .. 22k results of all kinds of things..pop in 'south' .. 22k...'aaadfadw' 22k .. seems like it not even matching anything really..

Thanks for noticing that, I was running an updated server version to check it with the next release.

I've restarted the previous server version, the newer one was only running for a few hours.

Later: I've restarted everything again with the updated code, the only problem was if there were no results it inadvertently continued to the added functionality code which is supposed to return many indiscriminate results, so now all should work as intended.
