Weird tag search behaviour

Post by bobrosssub »

This is more of a bug report, sorry if I've put it in the wrong section.
I can use advanced search and select 'anal' as a tag, which returns a LOT of teases.
However, if I click the 'anal' tag under a tease I get sent to the other type of tag search page, where it only lists a few teases on the site. There are two different lists I come across, too; sometimes I get sent to a list of 4 teases, sometimes it's 7, but they're always the same teases on each list. If this a known problem?

Yes, this is intended (sort of). Basically what happened was that one day I noticed that the site was massively overloaded. So I checked what the server was doing and 99% of it was generating tag pages for a small number of clients who were obviously bots. You see, some tags have hundreds or thousands of teases, so by requesting the same tags over and over, the server would get overwhelmed. I did a quick fix whereby I limited the number of teases that page returns.

For now, please use the advanced search feature. I'm working on a complete overhaul of the tease browser. So whenever that goes live, the issue will be fixed but it'll be a while. If I wanted to fix it before then, I'd have to add pagination to that page and I'd rather not invest a bunch of time into a page that's going away anyways.

Instead of starting a new thread, I decided to post a reply to this one, as I think it is related.

I noticed that the advanced search does not seem to return results with tags. e.g. if you search for "chastity-belt" it does not return two of the latest teases with the tag "chastity-belt".
