In 1.4b1 when I try to search in the chat transcript viewer, it returns no results almost instantaneously, as if it doesn't even try to search. It doesn't even find any of the words that I see in a particular log so I know that I'm searching for things that exist.
edit: then when i tried to close the window adium hung and i had to force quit it.
edit2: now i restarted and chat transcript viewer reindexed the logs and now search works again. weird.
