From: Nya Linden <n...@lindenlab.com>
On July 27th, Search will be moving all web-based searching to the
updated backend engine that has been in use in the ongoing Search beta.
Any viewers or clients that point to http://search.secondlife.com
<http://search.secondlife.com/> will begin receiving results from the
new system. The functionality will remain the same, however the results
rankings will be different, as the new backend has updated algorithms
for relevance.
Change details:
1. Viewer 1 - All and Groups tabs will be moved to the new backend
search engine. They will look the same, but the results will be
ranked differently. Other tabs will not be affected.
2. Viewer 2 - Search will be moved to the new beta Search UI and
backend in all versions of Viewer 2
3. Web searches will be moved to the new backend search engine -
including Classifieds, Events, and Groups.
4. Any products using http://search.secondlife.com
<http://search.secondlife.com/> will begin receiving results from
from the new backend.
5. The http://search-beta.secondlife.com
<http://search-beta.secondlife.com/> url will still be live, and
will be running the same version as search.secondlife.com
<http://search.secondlife.com/> for now.
If you run into any issues, please use the feedback link at the top of
the Search beta page, or file a jira in the Web project with a component
of Search.
Thank you!
