The only thing is really disliked on TL was the search engine. Good job. | ||

I think the steps forward are bigger, but some of those back steps could be problematic.(editing for some threads) | ||

-- The whole edit issue isn't that big of a deal, if full indexing happens at some interval (every week, month or half-year). Claiming a need to search in the edits of posts made within the last week (or month or so) is ridiculous. | ||

Any topic with a static OP (e.g., R&S topics, tournament topics, live report topics, "vault"-type topics) is often updated repeatedly. I agree that these topics are usually pretty easy to find on their own, but it seems inelegant. | ||

R&S and tournament posts are usually only updated with the results, the maps and players would still be in the OP and still be searchable so nothing is really lost. LR threads tend to move so fast that people make new posts rather than edits, and they are unlikely to edit a LR post after a few minutes I imagine. I just don't see the "doomsday scenario" where someone posts something and the entire content of the post changes after indexing. | ||

here's how i see it.. keep in mind (as i understand it) your posts aren't indexed immediately after you post.. so that if you post at time t, and the next indexing takes place at t+1, any edits you made in between those 2 (let's say it's 30 minutes) will be indexed as well and it's fairly rare for a post to be updated significantly after its post date.. with the few exceptions already outlined.. but the exceptions are easy to find either way (tourney threads etc) | ||

Updates are no longer real-time. Search is primarily used to help locate older posts; Sphinx does not support index updates so updates to the search index will happen on an hourly (depending on server load) basis. We are discussing alternatives for those of you who are search-happy with your own username.  Also The edit thing is kind of fucked up. | ||

I just don't see the "doomsday scenario" where someone posts something and the entire content of the post changes after indexing. Well I brought up this example earlier, but you might have missed it, so here it is again: The edit thing might be a problem because we'd lose a lot of new material (I'm thinking updates to topics like Stylish FPVODs and Day[9] podcasts). A few more examples that I could think of are Guides in the Strategy section that might be reliant on editing the opening post. For example, the Walling Guides (both Terran and Protoss), updates to any strategy guides (There are a lot of updates spread out over a long time for some of them), Updates to Day[9] Daily OPs (if someone wanted to search up Flash vs Stork and it wasn't indexed...), also the "Guidelines" topics like the 10 Commandments and the SC2 forum guidelines, etc etc... I think it's a rather big problem, but it'll be manageable. | ||
