Thread:Talk:Search/LiquidThreads archive/'Old search' is better/reply (23)

Both of those changes are ready for review. I imagine the category thing will catch the factual film outlier. My best guess is we'll deploy them to the test wikis next Thursday and to wikipedias the Thursday after that. Both changes, though, will require some time to take effect because the index will have to be rebuilt. That'll take a few days. That is one of the problems with Cirrus: the old search could rebuild the entire index more quickly because it didn't bother with stuff like templates. We can't. We react more quickly because we're able to hook more tightly into the infrastructure and we can throw more cpu at the problem. But when you have to change the index it takes some time. OTOH its like 100 times easier to debug then the old stuff, so tradeoffs.....
