Search service doesn't work anymore

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.

Search service doesn't work anymore

Post by Mth12 »

I am facing problems with search service. It seems that problem started after a last search update (Not sure).
So problem is that nothing is found, when Search button is pressed. Actually it seems that nothing happens (search service tab doesn't open).
Downloading of the articles works right when using NZB files, so connection seems to work to newsgroup server.

Any help?

Do you get "No matches found" message box?

If you press "edit menu->properties->search/import, reset search configuration" does it work?

The last version you used wasn't older than v2.9.5? In v2.9.5 "all words" syntax was introduced and set as default in properties, if you used OR (|) expressions you need to set boolean wildmats as default.

Probably there was a problem saving settings given UE verifies checksum after updating configuration.

Better exclude UE database settings, newsgroups, bodies and temb/db subdirectories from antivirus scan.
