Search results using old data?
 

So I just found something odd with the addon search results here on the site. If you search for "ouf" you get these results:

http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ch=ouf&x=0&y=0

One of the results on the page is listed as "oUF_Caellian" by "Kyron". When you click on the title, you go to this page:

http://www.wowinterface.com/download..._Caellian.html

... which just says "The author Caellian has pulled this AddOn from our database." (On a side note, that wording sounds a little weird. Might be better to say "has chosen to remove this addon from WoWInterface" -- talking about pulling stuff from a database may be confusing to new/average users.) If the addon is no longer availble, it shouldn't show up in search results.

The other odd thing happens when you click on the author name on the search page ("Kyron") as it takes you here:

http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/m...p?userid=31773

... which is the user profile for Caellian, not Kyron.

Based on the addon not being available, and the username apparently being old (just guessing; I don't actually know if Caellian was at some point Kyron) it looks like whatever database the search function is looking at is a bit behind the rest of the site. :p

They were temporarily disabled addons that were never deleted after the cooldown period. I've gone ahead and deleted them.

The author had requested a name change since then and since those AddOns were disabled the name was never changed in the AddOn database.

Thanks for the heads up.
