Hi Maia,

I originally found my spock result under "Dan Nicholas" - but changed my primary name to "Dan4th Nicholas" on January 7th. My profile is here:
http://www.spock.com/Dan4th-Nicholas-...
(dan4th is also one of my tags)

I've just tried all the following searches again, to make sure it's still not indexed:

Dan4th
Dan4th Nicholas
Danforth Nicholas
"Dan Nicholas"
Dan Nicholas, MA

Dan4th asked a question in Spock on January 14, 2008 17:19:

I changed my primary name a week ago (7 Jan), but I still don't seem to be searchable.

In fact, now I can't find my own profile under anything but my email address (tags, names, etc).

I made a reply under Phil Watson's question (dated 18 days ago) because I thought this was related, but I haven't seen a response.

When I first signed up, I could search for my primary name, and see my own result as one of five possible matches. Now the other four all show up, but I don't under that search, or any other version of my name that I've tried. I have to put my email address in the "advanced search" box to get myself as a search result.

How long should it take for search to index my new name?

never mind. No I'm not. I am not showing up under ANY searches. What the heck?

Dan4th marked one of Phil Watson's replies in Spock as useful. Phil Watson replied to the problem "I hate data harvesting, and I refuse to use your service.".

I've now been indexed, and I'm showing up under all the search terms I think I should be.

Dan4th marked one of I Love Spock's replies in Spock as useful. I Love Spock replied to the problem "I hate data harvesting, and I refuse to use your service.". Dan4th and 3 other people think it's one of the best replies.

I was in the search results before, but since I changed my primary name, I'm not showing up in the search results under the old name (listed as an alternate name) or the new one. I can't seem to get myself to show up in search results at all! What am I doing wrong?
