Geoff-
I found an article in desperate need of
Wikification (& yes, it's an
article I have no sympathy for, but I'm finding it easy to resist the urge
to add the POV declaration "this topic is bullshit"), when I noticed I am
no longer able to type in a word & ask for a search.
What's up?
When Pliny came back up the server was extremely slow. I checked the SQL
processlist and noticed lots of hanging search threads. I have no idea
what's wrong, but for the time being I've taken the title search out.
"Go"
should still work as expected (when there's no match it performs a title
search). If the server runs fine for the next few hours I'll put the
search back in and see what happens.
It's a bit annoying when you want a title search but "go" wants to take
you to an article.
<whisper> Don't tell anyone, but you can still do a title search by
pressing enter in the search box </whisper>
I've also disabled sysop queries after some ****
ran a query repeatedly
which would bog the whole db server down. I think they should stay
disabled until someone hacks a timeout into the function, and it will be
hard to convince me otherwise.
It's alright for you, you've got a developer account. I'm a mere sysop
:( Oh well, I can still just log into larousse and do queries from the
command line client.
You're quite right though. (there you go, I'm agreeing with you about
something). There appears to be a method for implementing timeouts at:

Doesn't look too hard.
