Search service down

The search function isn't working properly anymore.

I get the response:
"Search failed
No connection could be made because the target machine
actively refused it. (System: 10061)"


I'm using a registered version of UE, so I suppose something's up with the search server...

yes back then the computer with the server locked and had to be restarted. also the hard drive needed to be defragmented. database intact, it is working since then.

the server is currently being restarted, will be up in ten minutes.

i may restart it few times during the day as i'll be adding some options.

i'm restarting the server, will be up in 10 minutes, a straightforward upgrade, so just shutdown and restart.

another upgrade, restarting it, now it will restart faster, replaced more microsoft garbage with my own code.

restarted, i improved things quite a bit, there were few words like par2 which weren't searched well when the exact file name is entered, i fixed that.

i'll check bug reports with v2.1, i'm planning to release version with changed protocol version, we have now a lot of parasite server users through server trial hack using newsleecher as client, it shouldn't happen again since i got an agreement from the hack author (otherwise the option to close the server for trial accesses for import header stage will be the most real possibility, i don't want to play a cat mouse game, for registered version a serial derivative is used to protect data so it is not possible to hack). the problem is continues already for some time, i just was sick so work wasn't moving well, but all appears to be better now.

The index service will be down for approximately 20-30 minutes while the server undergoes maintenance (reboot)

the server will be inaccessible while Microsoft hotfix ms06-001 is applied and the server rebooted. estimated downtime 30 minutes

I receive this message since a few hours:

"Search failed
No connection could be made because the target machine
actively refused it. (System: 10061)"
