Missing Search Functionality on BGTSCC (current)

Unread post by Steve »

Hello!

As I’m sure everyone is aware—and especially Zanniej the Forum Master—Searching BGTSCC content is ‘offline’.

Can it come back any time soon-ish? I’ve even noticed that the BGTSCC site is un-searchable by Google and other engines (which is weird!).

Just putting the request out there because the Forum is a huge resource and if you’re a player like me, one makes the most out of it…especially via the Search function.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, sorry about that. I've got a server migration on my to-do list, to save cost as well as have a bit more disk space. Our search engine takes up a load of disk space (the majority, I believe). Since the forum crapped out due to lack of space, I had to do something, and this had (by far) the most impact.

The unsearchable in Google issue is something that DM Goat made a nice fix for. I'll implement that one along with the server overhaul.

Apologies for breaking the search, and not updating people on it. I'm aiming to have it resolved by the end of the month, but due to my current job situation, I'm a bit swamped. Feel free to bother me if there are other things you're really missing that I should prioritize.

Good to know it’ll return shortly-ish. Thank you.
