Errors might be missing threads (errors in VB system), wrong detection process on part of the BT Koalas, learning curve issues or timeouts etc..
If errors continue we will ivestigate further.

BT koalas scan only new threads :) They don't aimlessly go to the same thread again and again.

Actually there could be quite a few forums with tags.. ;)

We'll add tags to the search results in next version of this mod very soon. :cool:

I am looking through your modification's XHTML code and I can see that it is not XHTML compliant. Is there any possibility of fixing this in version 1.0.2?

Edit: I tried cleaning up the XHTML as much as I could but I could not make it XHTML compliant without breaking the plugin. If it helps, here is what I managed to do:

HTML Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - $vbphrase[search_forums]</title>

<body>

By the way, it seems that the default BoardTracker Search plugin does not work in Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta 2 and Opera 9.0 Beta 2. Also, I noticed that the default page navigation does not match the style used by vBulletin.

Which bits need xhtml that you weren't able to do?

Regarding IE7/Opera9 we will look into fixing them if needed when they are out of beta.. maybe the problem is on their side.

The HTML validator should be able to point those out to you:

Hi all -

Just wanted to tell you all about our experience with this BoardTracker search modification, which has all been good - in fact, better than good. It's brilliant!

We had very high load problems with all the searches that people have been performing on our site, www.boards.ie - Ireland's largest bulletin board community.

Since we installed the BT Search modification, loads have dropped significantly. Also, the mod integrates so well with the site you don't even realise the search results are powered by the BoardTracker facility.

I can't recommend this highly enough. If you find you have speed problems with your vBulletin installation and you suspect it's due to search, give it a go. Feel free to ask any questions on our experiences, I'll do best to answer and I know BoardTracker will too.

All the best,

John.

I am also a daily user of boards.ie and know how slow the site was before the boardtracker mod.
Great work.

What about threads that were created before BT koalas ever existed? We have threads going back to 2001. :surprised: This plugin looks rather interesting, but I'm curious how far back to goes to index the entire forum...

BoardTracker 06-15-2006 03:13 PM
We index all threads right from the start on forums we can access. We basically index all new threads as they are posted to power the persistant search features and have a fresh index while in the background we do a full historical scan to get existing threads which we do gradually and in a smart way to ensure it causes no load issues - on a big board this can take a while but we do eventually get pretty much all the visible threads.

:banana:

Kevlar 06-15-2006 04:27 PM
Is there a way to know when you have indexed all the past posts and are up-to-date?
