Search hangs when searching for a quoted search term

Postby Andreas » Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:58 am

Today, when I search with Internet Search for a quoted term like "abc def", NewsBin 6 just waits and waits and waits for a reply from the server.

Note 1: Yesterday this was working without any problems (after Dex repaired something about quoted searching).

Note 2: When this hanging problem occurs, searching for normal, not-quoted search terms also hangs (after restarting NewsBin). This problem lasts for a few minutes, and then everything is back to normal -- until the next quoted search.

Note 3: When this hanging problem occurs, pressing "Cancel Search" does not cancel the search. Maybe this is the only NewsBin 6 beta related problem here, and the hanging itself is a general Internet Search problem.

Actually, it doesn't hang forever. After a few minutes, the search results are displayed.

And now I think I know why it needs so long: I had a filter for "Min Size" active. After I set this filter back to "None", the results were displayed after about 10 seconds, which is normal for a quoted search.

So I guess the "hanging" is not a bug, i.e. you really have to wait several minutes for the results when you do a quoted search with an active "Min Size" filter.

However, one problem remains: "Cancel Search" does not work, at least not in this case.

Yeah, it doesn't like using file size constraints. I've though of an optimization though. Probably best not to use it until I get it worked out.

I'll add to the list the ability to make Cancel Search actually cancel something.
