The result was that the wiki server – which also runs the mailing lists and various other important things – was dying a death.</p> <p>I don’t know why this has only just started being a problem, because it looks like most of those uses of FullSearch have been in place for a while. But, for whatever reason, it’s a problem now, and the quick fix to stop the server crashing is to disable the macro.

Fortunately we have some money in the bank so, the board of directors approved the purchase a new RAM-heavy server for use as our new search server. Then yesterday, Matthew Mullenweg of <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> fame donated $5000 to the MetaBrainz Foundation!! That nicely covers the costs of our new search server (~$3000) and then some. </p> <p> I’m also working on improving the search server so that it runs more efficiently and that we get fewer timeout errors. Things improved yesterday when I redirected all web-based searches to our new server. I hope to cut over the rest of the search traffic (web service traffic) to a better suited server later this afternoon. </p> <p> In other words — I’m working hard to make sure the site stays responsive, even under the growing loads. Things should improve much more once we can deploy the new server mid-next week. </p> <p> Stay tuned for more details on the changes on the search server!</p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span> <a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.metabrainz.org/author/ruaok/">ruaok</a></span></span><span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="https://blog.metabrainz.org/2008/02/14/general-update-search-troubles-and-solutions/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2008-02-14T13:49:42+00:00">February 14, 2008</time></a></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="https://blog.metabrainz.org/category/general/" rel="category tag">General</a></span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://blog.metabrainz.org/2008/02/14/general-update-search-troubles-and-solutions/#comments">3 Comments<span class="screen-reader-text"> on General update: Search troubles and solutions</span></a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-303" class="post-303 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-picard"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog.metabrainz.org/2008/02/14/working-with-picard-episode-1/" rel="bookmark">Working With Picard, Episode 1</a></h2> </header> <div class="entry-summary"> <p>Hi!
