Yahoo Group Message message search problems

[Guest guest]

From Yahoo Groups:

First off, thank you to all of you who have been affected by this issue and have

waited patiently while our team works to resolve the problem. We have been

working hard to complete a new, more powerful and scalable search system (rather

than simply patching the old system as we had done in the past), which is why

this fix has taken longer to complete.

But, we're happy to let you know that the team is in the final stages of QA-ing

the new system (checking for bugs, testing for stability, etc.); and if all goes

well, we should be able to start switching over affected groups in the next 2

weeks.

Eventually all groups will be switched over to this new system, but since we

don't the capacity to move all groups to the new system immediately (there are

more than 5 billion messages and 40 terabytes of data to index!), we want to

first address the groups who are having message search problems.
