FYI, the search at the bottom of HN's site relies on Algolia and its has been down since November 27, 2022. New content is not showing for 2 days: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... My iOS, MacOS and Android client app HACK which relies on Algolia for a tiny portion of the app (the Chronological section) isn't able to show the new content. The vast majority of the rest of the app works fine. Issue filed on Github: https://github.com/algolia/hn-search/issues/233

(Original post description with clickable links.) ____ Notice a what appears to be a bug in HN’s search for comments that allows me to see the sum of votes a comment received: To replicate the bug, click link below: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... ...and the first comment should have “1081 points” and be this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6805807 ____ Bug does not appear to be universal, nor am I able to figure out a pattern of why some of the comments appear to show the comment votes, but if for example you sort comments by date, they don’t appear to show vote points: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Also checked by entering custom dates in to show comments after the post were locked and that produced no comments with votes showing. ____ Tried to few Google’s, but found nothing. What am I missing? ____________ Edit-001: - appears search is broken for the sort by popular, only returning results that are years old, possibly 8+ years old; example, click back to page one of search results looking at the dates: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=99&prefix=true&qu... ____________ Edit-002: Appears this is list of active/closed issues with HN’s search; looked for a known related issue, but was unable to find any: https://github.com/algolia/hn-search/issues Found it via this Google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=hacker+news+search+popularit... ____________
