Search facility - is it down

[max44]

Is it me, or is the search facility still down? ive been trying for days now and cant search for anything or anyone:rolleyes:

I was able to use it once a few days ago -- otherwise -- nothing.

[shark_bait]

Yep, was down yesterday as well.

The search engine could be what brought the site down in the first place:confused:

Searh has been "temporarily down" for me for 3 days. I sent an email and got the automatic reply, but so far nobody has responded to my question.

At the top of the Ask a Cruise Question Board is an Announcement: Board Technical Issues Update 2/27. It gives a little info - I'd copy/paste it, but it may change tomorrow.

This board is slowly but surely IMPLODING.:mad:

As a vBulletin admin (not this site!) I'll just point out that disabling search is one of the first things that is done when the servers get overloaded.

 

The second thing is then to order newer, more powerful servers... ;)

 

Joking aside, many bbs-based commercial websites run on "virtual" servers, in which a group of one or more physical servers (typically blade systems - google for hp blade) are logically split up into multiple virtual servers. In this case, increasing the "CPU entitlement", "Memory Entitlement" and "I/O Entitlement" has the same effect.

Search is not working for me either...

I received a response from the help desk, and she states the search has been disabled and there are no plans to re-establish it. She recommends the forum search.

....She recommends the forum search.

 

That worked for a few days, but now it hasn't been working for me either.
