How often do you update the Search Database?

[Athena]

I just have a couple quick questions

 

How often do you update the DMOZ Search Database? (On average if updates are preformed randomly)

 

And when the database updated is it site wide or by categories?

Normaly after each generation of a new RDF, which is each week. But sometimes we miss a week.

It is system wide, all categories or nothing.

Just to answer an unasked question .

 

The individual category pages are updated pretty much in real time. They change shortly after an editor (or robot) makes an alteration. It follows that they define what is and what isn't currently listed.

 

It's just RDF data dump used by the search and for export that can be a week or two old.
