I just performed the following text-search-in-a-story and something weird happened.
https://storiesonline.net/library/content.php?keywords=Danubia&t=all&cmd=Search
Result number three was entitled "Culture Clash" by "BareLin" but the links are for Padley Gorge by tedbiker. If the BareLin story ever existed it has been deleted now.
Same (?) bug in Quick Search, 3rd hit shown as by BareLin but actual story is the one by Tedbiker

It's a problem with text search server. It's OLD and the software (sphinx) has been dead since 2014. Once in a while the text indexer crashes and once it does, I have to manually run it at least twice to index everything again and keep running smoothly for a while.
I'm working on moving to Manticore, but the differences are big and the move requires completely changing the server, the back end that sends the stories' text to the text server, and the search code. I'm learning Manticore slowly and developing the new code.
It will be a while until done and this problem is fixed for good.
While composing this reply, I've ran the indexer 3 times so far and it crashed the first two, the third attempt is underway.
