Several things went haywire at once to cause the web site’s recent problems. One of them was that the search engine had run amok and added over seven million records to one of its tables. I ended up freeing up a huge amount of space by clearing the search tables, but the downside of this action is that the search function won’t work for you until the background process gets around to indexing the web site again. This will likely take several days.
There is an alternative, though, and it’s really a better solution in the first place, if you ask me. The answer is to use Google. Now, Google hasn’t found every link on here, either, so some of the old newsletters haven’t been indexed yet, but I think the rest of the site has. Oh, and the newest Forum posts aren’t indexed immediately, either.¹
“So how do you use Google to search the KGB web site?” you wonder out loud. Just add site:thekgb.org anywhere in your Google search and it will limit its results to the KGB web site. Awesome, ain’t it? As an example, here’s a quick search of the site for the word t-shirt.
In fact, if you just do a Google search for site:thekgb.org, you’ll see every page that Google has indexed on this site (174 links as of right this second).
As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact your Minister of Propaganda. He aims to please.
