Questions all around the network do not get Related Questions anymore, for several hours.

Examples from around the network:

This is not a duplicate of Why does the Related question list not always show up? since that explains the normal caching that causes them to not initially show up until a few minutes (or at most an hour) later; these examples are all a few hours old and the related questions still haven't shown up, so it's clearly a bug.

Can this please be fixed?

  • Voting to reopen. There appears to be a bit of a hitch with it; I asked a question many hours ago and it still hasn't shown up; it used to show up within an hour of my asking, if not a few minutes later. (cc @Shadow)

  • @Sonic you're correct, it's on all sites. No bug hammer, but added my vote.

We temporarily disabled this job last night after some changes to the Elastic search configuration. The people working on it didn't want to re-enable it at the end of the day with nobody around to keep an eye on it, so that was postponed and will probably happen later today.

There is a message in our internal chat to the tune of "the users probably won't even notice" – you sure did prove that wrong :)

    People around here have very keen eyes when it comes to their cheese. Move it a bit or take it away and they're sure to notice. So, what changes were made to the search? Any new cool features added? :-)

  • Well, to be clear, I was the one who suspected something amiss...most users initially just chalked this up to the job queue and the author agreed (marking this as a dupe).
