Your search engine is broken for the second time this month.

Your search engine is broken for the second time this month. Assignments made over the last few days cannot be found. It's very difficult to do our work when this keeps breaking, and I'm reporting this latest recurrence for the second time (maybe you missed the previous report, because I added it to our previous discussion of this problem).

    Hello Jim, I found out a timing-related flaw in the procedure of search index update. I've fixed it and re-indexed all the data.
    If the problem I found is the one which you faced, it should not appear anymore.

    I'm sorry for not answering earlier - I tried to find out the cause of the problem and wanted to respond when a progress is made.

    Hope, this search for assignees will work correctly from now on.

    Best,

    Kirill, that's fantastic news! Thanks very, very much!

    We really make a lot of use of the assignment feature, and the workers were getting really stressed.

    How long should I wait for the search engine to index new content before I report that it hasn't caught a given instance?

    e.g. this assignment hasn't indexed in nearly five minutes: https://checkvist.com/p/52593

    Hello Jim, the search index is updated once per 10 minutes, and it may take about 15 minutes since the change to update. Does it work already?

    Seems to be okay for now. Thanks, Kirill.

Any Toggl users here?

Any Toggl users here? I'm putting together an integration so the toggl (Chrome extension) button ( https://github.com/toggl/toggl-button ) is displayed for tasks on a Checkvist list. It's dead simple (a few lines of javascript), but I'm slightly torn on the best way to handle one aspect: whether or not toggl is shown for a particular list. It can't be always-on, as it adds too much clutter for non-projecty lists (who wants a timer button for the carrots on their grocery list?). What I have now is that if any task on a list is tagged #toggl, then all tasks on that list will have the toggl button. A few alternatives I canvassed were: - display toggl buttons only on subtasks of a task tagged with #toggl - display toggl buttons only on focused (hoisted) tasks - find some other way to indicate that all of a list's tasks should have the button, eg. something encoded in the list's name I think what I have now is the most convenient of these (I don't want to hav...
