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

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.

Though personally I read HN through
https://serializer.io/
with only HN enabled and other sites disabled, it allows also sync with other devices through unique URL, very practical. I just check first link ocassionally if I didn't miss something.
I think nobody is going test it thoroughly, it's not a big deal, just a bit annoying

It details a stylometric grouping attack on users. I wonder if the API was killed in response?
