See https://www.librarything.com/topic/352402, but I'm getting emails about this too. Records added by various libraries on 7/20 are unable to be searched for. Something appears to be stuck with indexing, and my attempts to reindex them individually are failing (checking back 25+ minutes later).
Can we check on catalog indexing to see if something needs to get kicked?
To Test:
1. go to https://www.librarything.com/catalog/GilderLehrman and view by order of Entry Date to see books added on 7/20. For example, The Advent of the All-Volunteer Force (Critical Moments in American History) (https://admin.librarything.com/work/29983696/book/244617644)
2. search for "the advent" in their LibraryThing and TinyCat catalogs: https://www.librarything.com/catalog/GilderLehrman?&deepsearch=the%20advent and https://www.librarycat.org/lib/GilderLehrman/search/text/the+advent
Bug: no search results, although the book exists in both catalogs.

Update: my reindexing finally came through, much later than it should have. Going to try the others that have reported to me but keeping this example (at >1 kristilabrie:) alive for testing/fixing.

>2 kristilabrie: The ones I tested from reports yesterday are indexed now. According to Tim, Your Books search indices should take no more than an hour to update changes so some process was clearly constipated yesterday thru this morning. Perhaps your servers need more fiber in their diet. ;-)

>3 Taliesien: You're quite right, it appears the catalogsearch was indeed stuck on something, seems to be working as of a few minutes ago (I think @pedro.pessoa kicked something). Let me go stuff some psyllium husks in the servers..
Please let me know if anyone else is still having catalog searching/indexing issues, thanks! Marking as fixed, for now.

I'm not quite sure what that implies about what you think about our catalog data!

>5 lorax: No ill thoughts whatsoever! Merely replying to @Taliesien's concerns about the server's level of fiber in their diet :)
