Search box down in 2010?
Nov 23 2010, 12:39 PM EST
Does anyone know when the sites are going to be crawled by the spider? It seems that site search boxes haven't been operating properly in at least 6 months to a year? In other words, if one key word searches for a term (that has its own page or at least a mention in a sentence or paragraph), that exists in the site, that was added in 2010, the search engine will return a "no result"? I'm guessing since WP cut its staff, they also cut budget spending on spider indexing?

I don't know, some site searches work, others don't. It's beyond me really.

Its the same when you are searching for a photo album..you know its there, but when you type the name in it doesn't come up and you have to look through a hundred albums to find it.

I'm having the same problem with the site I'm working on. The one I'm working on is for a school's library. We add book title and author tags to most pages (including a page to show each month's new books) and if a search is done for a keyword that is tagged on multiple pages, the search doesn't show any pages after about May 2010.

I sent WP an email, but so far no response. To take matters into my own hands, I started a search box for my site using FreeFind.com, as explained in the "bug section", on the home page:http://www.eoht.info/ It indexed about half the site for free, which is better than nothing.
