"Advanced search" status

@AAArmstark said ^

Update

All recent games, starting from 1 December 2025, are now indexed and available for our "Advanced search" feature.

To fix the issue, we had to replace the underlying game index. At the same time, we are experimenting with a different search backend to improve the "Advanced search" feature overall.

This process is still ongoing: https://github.com/lichess-org/lila-search/pull/721

During this process, games before 1 December 2025 might not be available in the "Advanced search", but we are continuing to backfill all game data.

Some games before 1 December 2025 have already been indexed and all games will become available once the process is complete.

We apologise again for any inconvenience and will give another update on the process.

I need help. I am trying to find an old lichess game from when I as 1700 elo but all of my old games disappeared for some reason. image.png

Pls take a look at the post just above your? We're back-filling all data, in reversed chronological order, currently We just finished with 2025.

No problem for me I don’t use advanced search I tried it a few times but it didn’t work.

We finished indexing 2025 games into elasticsearch, 2024 games are in process (and almost done). The progress will be updated more frequently in github: https://github.com/lichess-org/lila-search/issues/719
