Who You Calling A Jesse?

Well it seems we have some issues with the new search – for example it stopped working today at 8:30 am after what appears to be only 6000 queries or so. Does this mean we stop using the Google API? I don’t know. I will update this post today as we take a look at what happened. What actually happened was the wrong Google API key was in there and it did run out of queries. It is fixed now and I feel silly. I need to keep an eye on the queries though, there are an awful lot in a 24 hour period. Also, there are problems with the keyword search and how it all functions. That will be fixed.

In the meantime, the old search is back ;) Cache is cleared and things are back to using the new search. This is version 2.0 but 2.1 is not far behind. With 2.1 the search will:

• not query Google if UWdir results are returned, why? Because you have to be pretty accurate to get UWdir results so you are likely looking for a person.
• Keyword queries need to be more forgiving because very few ‘titles’ in the db have keywords associated with them. 800 or so entries over 8 years, tough to keep on top of. Just working on cleaning that up. That is why the old one is long dead.
• better tracking of search terms and results

Oh and the stuff listed in the other post…
