After Upgrading ListManager
Message threading and searchable archives will not be available immediately after upgrading from versions 5.0 and earlier. ListManager 7.0 has new methods of threading and indexing archives so they are searchable.
After upgrading to 7.0, ListManager will attempt to determine whether a message is a response to a previous
message in that same list or whether it is starting a new 'thread' of discussion. This threading will
be shown in the ListManager web interface.
ListManager 7.0 also has a new improved method for full-text archive searching. The database design
has been changed to make searching faster and more efficient, while also using less disk space. Additionally,
the new web interface will allow new options for message searching include 'not equal' words, i.e., exclude
messages that contain a set of words.
The database will be altered during the dbupgrade process to enable these features, and then as ListManager runs, the message-threading and full-text archives will be built. This means that any searches of the full-text archive may not find any data when ListManager is started for the first time. ListManager will be busily rebuilding the full-text archive in the background, and once it has completed it will remain up-to-date, since every message is archived when it is received.
