Workplace Searchedit

New featuresedit

  • Tidied up and simplified a set of navigation items and introduces Elastic Amsterdam styling.

Bug fixesedit

  • Confluence Server will now show large thumbnails.
  • Clearing Group filters will no longer send you to the root domain.
  • Dropbox will no longer 500 if it detects the incorrect access scope.
  • The "Updated by" trigger will work now, even with lots of users.
  • The 404 page had some minor errors. Ironic, and fixed!
  • Private Sources can no longer be configured with a Basic license. You will need a Platinum license, as intended.
  • Subextractors were failing on Docker due to a missing dependency. We have added it: libfontconfi1.
  • Google Drive has much improved resilience.
  • Thumbnails will cause large deployments to OOM. We will now check for at least 4GB of memory and disable them when only 2GB or less is available. We will improve memory handling of Thumbnails so that they work with defautl 2GB deployments in the near future.
  • Remote content source facet counts should again be accurate.
  • We will now ignore transient fails after retry when indexing, so that the rest of the job can finish as expected.
  • Google Drive no longer indexes your trash files.
  • Many more general stability and quality fixes.
