Merged User Account Breaks Search For Threads By User

[macdjord]

Questingdragon used to have a second account, Interitio. These accounts were merged circa August 2021. Content formerly attributed to Interitio is now shown as having been posted from Questingdragon. However, searching for all threads by Questingdragon does not return threads which were created under the Interitio name, such as Overlord Ascendant. Meanwhile, trying to search for threads using Interitio's old user ID just gets an 'Error: The requested member could not be found' message. Thus there is currently no way to search for threads created under the Interitio name.

(This probably also affects searching for 'All posts by', but I haven't checked.)

This may well be a problem with outdated search index. Rebuilding that is a bit of a pain, so I'll wait and do it tomorrow.

I've now initiated the search index rebuild. This will take hours to a day, and search may not work in the meanwhile.

The search index rebuild is complete. macdjord, can you check if this fixed the issue?
