Does the search algorithm use the current contents of the database, or a snapshot? Because I can do a search for something I know exists in a recent thread, but it doesn't show up in the results.

Jump to PostI fancy Dani mentioning that Daniweb search is powered by Google so it wouldn't surprise me if the search is performed against a snapshot and not live data.
Jump to PostOur site search feature (in the navigation menu) is based off of Google's enterprise search product, so basically it's based off of Google crawling our pages and indexing them, the way that they would do for the rest of the web.
