[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Unfindable resources

[Bobbi Fox]

It might be worth looking at the indexing logs.  When I was at Harvard, we 
noticed that sometimes the indexer would hit a error, then just restart 
(hitting the same error, restarting, shampoo, rinse, repeat).  This means 
that anything that needed to be indexed past the point of the error didn't 
get indexed.

Hope this helps.

Any modifications to older resources is are saved, but the resource record is not recording that the modification happened.  In other words.  The last modification date does not take into account recent modifications even though the modifications have been saved.  Which makes me think this is a problem with timestamps for when records are created or modified and I really don’t know where to go from there.
