I'm having troubles with Drupal's built in search. Stuff I had on the site for a few days comes up fine but recent entries do not. When I look at the search settings I see that 0% of the site has been indexed out of 412 entries. First of all, I don't think that's accurate because the older entries must have been indexed since they come up in the search.

The other problem is that when I press "Reindex Site" and run cron.php my new content still doesn't showed up. I tried this a few times. Then I changed the number of records per cron to 500 and it worked. Content was now searchable and index was listed at 100%. My guess is the first few cron.php runs did not do the trick b/c the content was piece #413. So it would appear there is a bug such that it shows 0% whenever its something less than 100%.

Also, what is the purpose of the "Reindex" button. Shouldn't cron just automatically reindex the number of records you specify? Or does this schedule the entire site as it suggests? If its the entire site, that part doesn't seem to be working for me.

TIA
