I've noticed that when I'm viewing a book by Jim Butcher, when I click on his name BM doesn't show any books by him. But I know BM has books by him since I have them in my Wishlist. Is this a related issue?

Another 2 days, I think, and the search index should be up to date. -john re: searching

I'm still finding that books from my inventory, more often than not, do not appear when typed into the search box. Anything new on the updated server front?

I had told BM to reindex from scratch, because so many words in the index had gottten "damaged" over the first 14 months of BookMooch's existence. This morning, I stopped the reindex, erased the whole search index (again) and told it to restart reindexing, but this time without the book review/descriptions, as that seems to be about 75% of the effort. As of right now, 9h after I've restarted, it's gone through 160,000 books, with another 600,000 to go. So, in about 2 or 3 more days, the search reindex should be complete (I hope) So if you're having trouble finding books via the full-text-search, that's why. Wait 72 hours, and all should be well. -john re: search results missing

My mooching finger is getting itchy. Not to be unappreciative, but how soon will the full text search be finished? My mooching finger is getting itchy.

This also fixes a long-standing problem with those pages not refreshing with new books. The big "topics" pages are all cached, and the cache was supposed to be cleared nightly. However, due to a mistake on my part, the cached pages were staying there permanently until I got around to cleaning it out by hand, which was (ahem) infrequently. -john I fixed the problem with the Topics pages, http://bookmooch.com/topics – those pages work correctly now.
