Search timeout

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.

Search service has been timing out (6) for four or five hours.

Yep, I too am getting timeouts. Hopefully just a simple case of temporary system downtime.

i had internet connection down and didn't get the alarm when one search service computer went down due to failed battery (known issue), the replacement battery has arrived already and will be installed shortly.

search is working now.

i'll try to run sim card modem in the future if such prolonged isp outage happens again, i have never had such coincidence.

Ok, good Alex. Is the search index updated correctly?

it is now up to date.

such situation is rare and i can reduce downtime even when my isp connection is down.

i'm working on sets for search to reduce hardware needs, it should add more tolerancy as to hardware failures.
