No search index

Post by Gambit37 »

I'm trying to search for something on the site, but I get no results for anything, not even obvious words that should definitely be matched. I suspect the search index is disabled... is it possible to have that enabled, Christophe? Or is that not possible on the free hosting? Cheers.

The search index database table is too large for the current hosting plan, so the index is now disabled.
I'll see what I can do.

OK, thanks Christophe. I noticed though that many other features are now disabled too. For example, all the functions to show Active topics, recent updates etc, have disappeared. That's how I navigate the forum, so is it possible to get those back?

Sorry I disabled all search features by mistake. 'Active topics' and 'New posts' are back.

The search index is back !
I moved the forum to another hosting plan at the same provider (now a small dedicated virtual server).
Let me know if you find any issue.

No, hosting for this forum was never free. It's now 3.59€/month.
That's the hostig for dmweb.free.fr that is free (supplied by my ISP).
