Webmaster: Question on Search (AREV Specific)

Revelation Webmaster:
I am confused about the Search Utility found at the bottom of the left hand frame in the Revelation Web page (Note: NOT the "Search this list" on the discussion group). I though it would retrieve all documents from anywhere in the Revelation site (i.e. discussion group, knowlege base, Work Subscriber area, etc.)in a real-time fashion. There appears to be a delay or filtering, however. For example, if I select the Advanced search option so I can prescribe two search words (e.g.: revg + print) and select "ALL",
it only finds 25 documents and does not include the documents submitted on this topic over the past few days ( See AREV discussion).
How can I preform a global search of the site and pick up all the discussions on a topic?

Using the Search button on the Navigator is the way to do this. The index is updated once a day, so there is a slight delay in capturing docuements in this search function.

Thanks Jennifer,
I must be seeing the daily input delay. The missing documents are from the weekend and today (Monday). They do not show up as of 4:15 PM Eastern Time. Does that seem correct?

Yes. It can take a little time, given the various index updating schedules.

Jennifer,
Ok, now its Tuesday, 3:15PM eastern time and I still do not see the postings from Saturday, Sunday or Monday, let alone the ones from today, so it apparently takes much longer than a day to updat this database. What exactly is involved in updating the Site search database?
For your reference, I am entering "revg" and "print" into Advanced Search and choosing "All". I get 25 records. There are at least 5 other items that have been contributed over the last few days.
Thanks,
Tom

Jennifer,
Here it is Thursday at 12:15 PM Eastern time and the postings from last Saturday are still not showing up. What am I doing wrong?

I just checked, and was able to find the postings you referred to using Search. If you are still having problems, please let me know.

Jennifer,
Yes, today there are 36 items including the 11 items that have been posted since January 29th. But, for the record, these 11 items were not there yesterday, February 3rd.
