About two hours ago I got a message through from Exceptional that a search
failed with a "RSolr::RequestError". Sure enough, search was down on my
site.

I checked the twitter feed of WebSolr:
http://twitter.com/websolr

It didn't seem a coincidence that about the time search stopped working on
my site, they tweeted:
"A misconfiguration on one of our servers has a small number of indexes
down. We're working on it."

WebSolr has been rock solid for me in recent months and it was the first
message on their Twitter feed since 22nd January.

Their next Twitter message stated "It's fixed now". But even though my
account's status page indicated that my index "looks ok", I was still
getting errors.

I was able to fix search on my site by going into the console and reindexing
the articles on my site:
heroku console
Sunspot.index!(Article.all)

PS: According to my accounts page, the number of documents in my index has
somehow grown eight times after reindexing, but I'm not going to risk
hitting the "Destroy this index" button and rebuilding it again right at
this moment.
