RE: None Re: GSA Mirroring - how to?

E.g. Imagine if you index contains a document which is highly relevant to the user's query plus 9 other old versions. If it weren't for this filtering feature then the results displayed would just be 10 near-identical hits. Instead we get one hit, then an indented similar one, and then 8 unrelated hits from other parts of your index.
To put it another way the filter is trying to prevent one type of result from dominating the results which would badly affect users looking for something else.
You can turn off this feature using the "filter=" query parameter e.g. "filter=0" turns it off altogether. There are also other values available if you read the search API documentation.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Adam.

Hi Ash,
In the release notes for version 6.2 Google listed the folling Issue:
2194738 - Mirroring can result in data corruption on the replica node.
A patch for mirroring is targeted to be available by January 1, 2010
(all dates subject to change) and we recommend that customers wait for
the patch before using this feature.
This may be effecting your primary's node ability to transfer the
index to the secondary appliance. Therefore as Google state that you
should not use this feature until a patch is released, you should just
submit the feed to both Google Search Appliances.
When the patch has been released, clear the index of you secondary
appliance and set up "Mirroring".
