Current known issues:

2023-08-27 The Search Engine Is Up

All work is finished and the search engine is back up.

2023-08-22 The Search Engine Is Down

Upgrading to 2023.08.0 and loading a new batch of crawl data. This should take about a day.

Update 2023-08-23: This is taking a bit longer than expected. The outage will definitely last a few days. A problem arose due to the more relaxed language detection logic allowed more keywords in the lexicon than would fit in RAM. Rolling back the change is easy, but requires reprocessing all of the data before it can be loaded.

Update 2023-08-25: This is a deeply cursed release cycle. The loading made it 97% through before running out of memory. A new attempt is under way. No need to re-process, just reduced how many websites it will attempt to load a bit.

2023-06-29 The Search Engine Is Down

Upgrading to 2023.06.0 and loading a new batch of crawl data. This should take about a day.

2023-05-27 The Search Engine Is Down

Upgrading to 2023.03.2. This is a bugfix release that addresses a metadata corruption that broke year-search. Should take about a day.

2023-04-13 The Search Engine Is Down

Upgrading to 2023.03.1. This is a bugfix release that improves search result relevance, performance and fixes several character encoding bugs. Should take about a day.

2023-03-26 The Search Engine Is Down

Loading the March crawl batch and upgrading to 2023.03.0.

2023-01-08 The Search Engine Is Down

Loading the December crawl batch.

2022-10-19 The Search Engine Is Down

A sustained DDoS attack brought the server down for about a day.

2022-09-12 The Search Engine Is Down

Loading the August crawl batch. The index is being re-constructed, and the changes are so big it can’t be done without taking down the search engine for a few hours.

After that the new index needs to be de-spammed a bit, but that should be relatively quick.
