Hi Ernest,
It’s been a long time since I last heard from you. My last post was almost two months ago and you never responded to it. Did you ever see my post above?
I’ve been incredibly busy the last two months working on all aspects of our platform. We’re due to launch by the end of this year. This was the first chance I’ve had in weeks to give the search some attention. I just upgraded ASP to the latest version (I was two versions behind).
The good news is that the upgrade went well and it didn’t cause any new problems (at least anything obvious). In fact, the new upgrade completed one of the above items:
Linking Attachment Search Results to Parent (Linked) Posts (Core Integration)
COMPLETED
The new core integration of this feature is working very nicely. I removed the filter we had in place for this in functions.php and tested this feature with the new setting. I like that you implemented it with a primary source and a fallback. This is all working perfectly, and my thanks again for including this in core.
…..
Now that we’re in the final months before launch I want to address as many of the above issues as possible. The post prior to this was a full listing of everything we had left. There were also a number of questions and more complex issues. Please look back in this thread to find those original questions.
I also have one new question for you…
Index Table Cron Options
In your recent updates you added additional cron options for the index table. It’s now possible to run at more frequent intervals, like 5 minutes, 15 minutes, etc. I was tempted to set this lower than an hour, but then I started thinking about how large our site will be. I wanted to get your recommendation on how often we should be indexing for a huge site. If we had cron run more frequently then once per hour, would this use a lot of server resources? What about if a new indexing task is not completed when the next one is ready to begin? (this could happen if the time-frame were set very low, like 5 minutes). I’d greatly appreciate your recommendation and thoughts on all this..
…..
I hope you see this message. Please at least let me know you saw it even if you can’t respond in detail right away.
I look forward to getting back to all this with you.
All my best,
