Re: What happened to RIPE Database full text search?

["Cleveland K. Mickles" <]

We had a problem with customers using RIPE last night.  Was 
there a change this past weekend?

We copied over the RIPE database and it is taking longer
than normal to process.  Is indexing information
usually passed along with the FTP copy of the RIPE 
database?

Regards,

   Cleve...
