DM Search Issue

Odin Sonnah

Today I was looking for an old conversation that might have happened in DMs. I located the particular person that I had the conversation with and began a search using a relevant term. It displays the message, "Before searching, we need to index this DM. Give us a bit."

A bit later, I've finished manually reading the entire conversation, and have decided to copy the whole thing into a Google doc, as a secondary confirmation that my search term wasn't present. It only takes up about 5 pages, and the search there is done in seconds.

Now, something like 20 minutes after I started, the indexing in Discord is still going. Just thought you might want to know that something in your search indexing is clearly broken.

    You can try searching a conversation with only 50 words in it, and it has the same result; "We need to index this DM" will sit there doing its thing for weeks and weeks.

    You could qualify this as a bug, but personally I'm excited to see how blazingly fast it searches through these 50 words once this indexing is complete! Just a few more weeks of indexing... It must be almost done by now...

    I've also got this problem.
    And at one point, I forgot about it and probably left it go for maybe 3-4 hours. I came back.... it's still "indexing."

    It can't even manage a DM history of 1 message, with about 30 words.
