Using the search function on vB only seems to retrieve very new threads on the forum, even though there are 30,000+ posts on the forum. Do I have to rebuild the search index to correct this issue, does anyone know?
It should retrieve all that are relevant, sorted by whatever you have your preferences set to (by default it's the date of the last post in the thread). There is a cap you can set as to how many results to return (by default it's 5,000).
Yeah, and before you do that, flush the index as well - which is also an option on the Update Counters/Rebuild page.
Thanks mate Im really hoping this sorts out the problem. It would be a real shame if the search functionality becomes unusable due to the conversion.
