2008-12-29 with subject line:
> full-text search of Diigo-cached content
- seemed to affect groups.diigo.com (without affecting www.diigo.com) but considering more recent bugs (below), symptoms to other users may differ. Whilst that December 2008 report does involve cached content, I suspect that it's not relevant to current symptoms. Moving on…

> list: cached copies apparent within but not without WebSlides
- observed an issue with presentation of cached copies in some but not all situations.

- then spanned multiple subjects.
http://www.diigo.com/user/grahamperrin/Diigo+9723 represents a selection of bookmarks
all http (none https) created during the period
2009-01-13 to
2009-01-18 (UK dates/time).
Focusing on my view of my cached copies of that selection:
* 22 of 23 bookmarks are without cached copies:
> Cached page for this bookmark is not available at the moment, but
> caching service will resume later to save this page. Please click
> the following link to visit original page: …
Searching my bookmarks for words within the titles of each one:
* 20 of 23 bookmarks are not found.
The bookmarks that are cached, I have tagged cached so
http://www.diigo.com/user/grahamperrin/cached
The bookmarks that are _not_ cached, I have tagged non-cached so
http://www.diigo.com/user/grahamperrin/non-cached
The bookmarks that are found, I have tagged found so
http://www.diigo.com/user/grahamperrin/found
In my bookmarking chronology: the one bookmark that is found appears in the midst of others that are not found.
In the bookmarking chronology of other users: appearances, midsts may differ.

Summary
=======
Possibility of a caching server issue originating some time between
2009-01-07 and 2009-01-14
Lesser possibility of an indexing server issue (I guess that the absence of caches is a primary factor).

Postscript to fellow users of Diigo: if within this summary topic you do not see an issue that you have reported, please do not take offence. You should find that most other topics (including your own) are tagged appropriately.
2009-01-05 observed,

Now reviewing an earlier highlight,
> issue with … of cached copies in some but not all situations
- and a highlight from http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/9604
> If I take a signed-out WebSlides view of the list,
> six of six pages [for which I could not gain cached copies]
> are described [in WebSlides] as cached copies.
- my revised summary should be:
* where cached copies do exist,
not all caches are available for all purposes,
and one of those purposes may be indexing,
and an incomplete index may affect the search results of some users.
Considering the 'some but not all' aspect, I'll probably refrain from adding to this summary topic.

now, 26 of 26 bookmarks found.
> * 22 of 23 bookmarks are without cached copies
now, 23 of 26 bookmarks are without cached copies
Thanks to Diigo for progress :)
> We will have more computation power soon.
That's smart, thanks to Joel/Diigo :)
My aim in this topic was to whittle some symptoms, mainly for nearby
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/9723
As topic 9723 is resolved (Diigo attention to cache server and search server) so I'm happy to treat this topic 9783, too, as resolved.
Other topics may be reviewed individually. My own reports can wait.
FWIW I have earmarked
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/9753 (reporter:
http://www.diigo.com/profile/marcelpaulo ) for review in due course.
Best,
Graham
