Ask HN: Is there a problem with HN Algolia search?

31 points by spk_ ↗ HN
Everyday I come in the morning and go to https://hn.algolia.com/, and read the top items from the last 24 hours. However, today I noticed that there are no stories indexed for the last 24 hours https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=last24h&page=0&prefix=false&query=&sort=byPopularity&type=story

Not sure if this is a bug that I should be reporting to HN or ask a question to fellow peers who have similar routine as mine on how they are coping up today.

Yes, something is off. Yesterday it was 20h behind.
I think it's the HN API. The problem also affects hnrss.org: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33786127
HN's API is fine - most likely hnrss.org uses the HN Search API.

I've contacted Algolia and they're looking into it. More here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33790811

Edit: they've found the problem and are currently backfilling the missing data. If anyone still experiences trouble with HN Search after (say) 24 hours from now, please let us know at hn@ycombinator.com.

The algolia search is buggy sometimes, and hnrss would miss one or two posts for the front page

I think nobody is going test it thoroughly, it's not a big deal, just a bit annoying
