"no match found" for recent results

03 Oct 23: One server was relocated, the server currently doesn't have a public IP address since in the meantime it is running on starlink. I wrote some additional tunnel code running separately to handle this. When the server is engaged the connection is 5600+ days uniform (since around 24 July 2008). In the unlikely case I disengaged the server because of some problem the retention is 1200-3800 days depending on newsgroup. If you experience any issue please let me know.

29 Nov 23: Because of encrypted and obfuscated posts flood mass posted by a few nzb indexing websites using usenet servers as private storage for their members to download the posts - the situation with the content is pretty chaotic since their purpose is to post in such a way, so users must use their website exclusively, when the website disappears - the encrypted posts just eat usenet providers' hard disk space uselessly. If you can't find something specific please let me know at alexbirj at gmail dot com what exactly you can't find for me to check how it is possible to retain the posts. Non-obfuscated posts shouldn't be affected at all, let me know if you notice anything missing.

29 Nov 23: The search protocol had to be upgraded to extend 3 byte (16M+) limit on the server side for number of sets per instance, so at least the version 5.8.3 is needed to access it, otherwise should be no any difference.

"no match found" for recent results

Post by Legaumais »

Hi,

If i do a search on post that are 12 hours old (or newer) , UE returns search failed, no match found.
However if i do "open and get new hearders", the articles are there

What's wrong ?

Thanks

Yeah something seems wrong.
Couldn't get results for roughly last 3.2days on a set of newsgroups I keep headers up to 315days.
I sometimes get only zero par2 file on results, maybe some feed hiccup :P
With other newsgroups like a.b.h.x264 and ue search engine, everything seems fine.
You might wanna indicate on which newsgroups you're having problems.

read about the search syntax on the UE website

UE uses wildmats (like wildcards) with nesting / boolean expression capabilities on the top rather than just "and".

so if you entered several words assuming the "and" relationship you may get no matches.

in part "&" means "and" and "*" means "anything" (the latter like wildcards).

I've fixed it, a setting in one instance became too tight after reconfiguring for higher retention - causing the delay.
