We have a timeout problem related to categories which seems to have appeared recently (i'm not sure about the recently though).
We have a profile which indexes about 185 000 pages and has 10 categories (nothing fancy, just 1 or 2 url roots each.
When i do a search on a single word letting "everything" selected, i get a result (about 2000 hits for one example) in 1 or 2 seconds. If i choose a category i get nearly all the time a timeout.
I had noticed before occasional timeouts for complicated queries, but the index was still building, but now it is complete, there are no walks and replications running.
No luck replicating it so far. Even using a 3 million page profile.
What's your system load average (Maintenance->System Information->Load)?
What non-default search settings are you using?
The system load average is the following :
9:23am up 33 days, 15:13, 0 users, load average: 1.00, 1.02, 1.00
The search settings we have changed are the following :
(default -> Changes)
Enable Sherlock: N -> Y
Max Docs to Auth-Check: -1 -> Not used
Total Auth Timeout: -5 -> Not used
Debug Results Authorization: N -> Not Used
Number of Suggestions: 3 -> 2
Synonyms: Phrase Recognition only -> Phrases & use synonyms by default
Allow the @ Operator: N -> Y
Allow Linear : N -> Y
Allow Post-Processing: N -> Y
Allow "WITHIN" Operators: N -> Y
Word Forms: Exact match -> Plural & progressives
Word Proximity: medium -> high
Visible: N -> Y
I hope you will be able to give us a solution soon.
Thanks
