Is there an issue with Search on NSC?

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] - last week I noticed that when I used the Search function I got what seemed to be a very limited results set. I guessed that it was possibly a knock-on effect of the problems you were having with Rackspace.

I have just done another couple of searches, and again I get very limited (and recent) results - for instance, a search for "Reading" returns only 48 results.

Is something up?

No - search works perfectly.

What it doesn't have is much data to search against as I dumped the whole search index table in order to remedy a DB issue that Rackspace had left me with.

Curiously I never use NSC's native search as I find the results too inconsistent. Instead I just go to google and so a site:www.northstandchat.com <search term> search. I've been thinking about putting Google Custom Search onto NSC as the default search engine. Either that or rebuild the whole search index which, with over 7m posts here now, will take quite a long time!

Whilst we are on the subject of NSC tweaks, I notice the likes on Tapatalk aren't reflected on the main site. They are obviously two different things. Any possibility of merging them?

Probably been mentioned somewhere else but why is that NSC seems to be stuck on BST rather GMT? (or is this something I have to change in settings?)
