Vimeo search broken ??

Post by Pancho » 15 Dec 2012, 17:00

Apart form several forums the vimeo webpage is one of the main stations for getting input. Usually I look for "softimage" and sort it by date. Since a week or so this seems to be broken. It just lists the videos from 7 days ago and earlier. The latest videos don't get displayed, so there's no way to find them. This happens from my PC and iPad, so it shouldn't be a browser problem. Anybody else who experienced the same problem?

Cheers

I do that too and i have the same problem.

Seems to be this:
Mark Staff 1 day ago

Hey everyone! We're currently in the process of making big improvements to our on-site search utility. As of this writing, when you search, there are no results for videos uploaded within the past couple of days. We just installed some super new shiny machines that need some time to re-index all of this information. This process can last up to a couple of days from now (probably Monday), but after that, things should be smooth sailing.

Thanks for bearing with us while we help make Vimeo work better for y'all. We know outages like this are super inconvenient and we truly apologize for that. Trust us though, it's for the greater good :)

Yup very frustrating. Whoever has been trying to fix their servers needs to be given a good kick up the backside!

I've taken to abusing them via twitter but it hasn't worked so far :D
