Refinements to search being tested on meta

[mcwumbly (Dave McClure)]

You do not need to do anything:

@sam

@mcdanlj

it looks like prioritize_exact_search_title_match is still hidden. Is this something we should expect to use? Are we supposed to run rake search:reindex after deploy as I see in this comment in the thread?

No and no

We amended the default prioritize_exact_search_title_match is now default true.

We also bumped up our index version to version 5.

This means that every 2 hours 10,000 topics and 20,000 of the newest posts with an old index version will be reindexed.

You can rush the process by running rake search:reindex but there is no need really, it will happen automatically in the background anyway. (it probably did already for most)

I’ll update the original post with a note.
