Was There Some Kind Of Technical Problem/glitch This Morning (22-04-2014)?

Hi,

I'm a new member and so far I haven't had any problems uploading or finding my uploads via the search engine/keywords.

This morning I uploaded 3 images with fairly detailed and specific tags but after several attemps to find them, using several tags and combinations, I've given up. They appear on my profile page but do not show up in any search using keywords.

Perhaps it's just a glitch in the system but I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. Perhaps I should delete and upload them again.

I think it normally takes about 24 hours for new images to show in the search feature.

Thanks Greg. I hadn't had this problem on previous days but yes, perhaps it's a time lapse thing.

sometimes the search skips a day. be sure your searching for the EXACT term. it's very fussy. like if you don't have plural - no one will find it. dog and dogs - two different words.

About 99 percent of the problems we encounter here can be fixed
using the "come back later" method.

Just imagine the beating FAA's servers take in the course of a day!

Search takes up to 24 hours to show up the images.

Thank you, Abbie.


From the FAQ page (About>FAQ>term ‘upload’):

2: Why aren't my images appearing in the search results?

Our search engine refreshes itself once every 24 hours. If you upload images today, you'll have to wait until tomorrow before you can search for them.

Also - please note that the search engine only pays attention to the keywords that you associated with your images... not their titles. Make sure that you have associated appropriate keywords with all of your images... wait 24 hours... and you'll be all set.

Thank you all for your replies and time.

I'm just wondering why I can't find this post on the General Discussion board and can only access it via email. I'm also wondering why the General Discussion board I see seems to be a replica of the Need Help - Start Here board. Just trying to work out how all this works.

 

You probably are stuck at your own Search Discussions topic.....look at your Search Discussions box, and click the 'X' to close your Search....then this page will return....(I've done this toooo many times,myself!)

Thank you Vivian - I'd put FAQ in the search box so that was obviously (now you've mentioned it) what the problem was. I'd logged out and on logging back in now everything seems to be back to normal. Thanks again.

Speaking of glitches,
