Extremely slow tag changes

I am having to wait several minutes for a single tag change to complete. It feels like the server is overloaded.
This has been happening since about 2 p.m. today.
How to reproduce: Perform a search that returns about a dozen books in a collection. Select 3 or 4 of those books. Add or remove a handful of tags. Wait. Have a cuppa. Wait more. Write up this in Bug Collectors. Go back and check: still not done. This last change on 7 tags on 4 books is 7 minutes and still not completed.
If I try to make another change, I get 'Another Power Editor...'
Can someone check the server?

Specific example: Searched for 4 books, with the following URL:
https://www.librarything.com/catalog/BookEndsIntl&deepsearch=142771131+OR+19...
selected book 190159178, removing excess tags from it:

LT Book ID Title Author Tags
190159178 Night of the Ninjas (Magic Tree House, No. 5) Osborne, Mary Pope _In-Between Readers, #reserve AdrienneBanks, R:903, Country:France, 2021, #reserve KrisanneEmch, R:909, Country:Indonesia

Removing tags "#reserve KrisanneEmch, R:909, Country:Indonesia"
Started at 5:46 p.m. PST . Elapsed time: 55 seconds.

Selected the remaining 3 books. Attempted to remove 4 tags: To:LauraKvernen:R:512,Country:USA, To:VickiDueker

At 30 seconds progress bar goes to 50%
At 5 minutes, progress bar remains at 50%
At 10 minutes, progress bar remains at 50%.
In a second window, attempt the same tag change.
At 11 minutes, progress bar in second window is 25%
At 12 minutes, progress bars in both windows are 50%

At 14 minutes, opened a window with the original search for 4 LT_ID numbers.
Completing opening the LT window took 1.5 minutes.
None of the tag changes show up in the new window.
At 21 minutes, gave up and sent this update.
Throughout, ping to librarything.com was steady at about 85 ms RTT.

We were doing some server work over the weekend that might have affected this. Can you try again, and/or let me know if you're still having trouble? Thanks for your patience.

The tags I have added to new book entries I have added in the last few days are not working in my tinycat. The new added books are in my tinycat when i do a search for them but the tag when clicked does not show the new books that are tagged with that tag. Maybe due to your server work this last weekend? thanks

>4 saintaidan: We've just reindexed your catalog which should have fixed this issue. Can you check your catalog and let me know of any searches that are failing to find all of the appropriate records? Thanks!

HI, The tags are still not working properly on Tinycat. examples: "Children" tag shows 39 items in librarything but only 36 items in tinycat. "Audio-book" tag in library thing shows 5 items, in tinycat it shows 1 item. Thanks for looking into this!

Sorry for the trouble! Did you add any "Children" tags to your books after we reindexed your catalog yesterday morning, or have they been there the whole time?

To clarify for developers:
- Tag searches on LT are accurate
- Catalog "deepsearch" for tags on LT are not accurate
- Tag searches and text searches for tags on TinyCat are not accurate.

Okay, this was a nasty bug that ccatalfo and timspalding found and fixed!

I can leave it to them for a more technical explanation if folks need one, but please reopen this if you continue to see any search issues. We are currently working on reindexing everyone who's logged in in the last few weeks, which will take some time. So, if you're seeing search issues let us know and we can probably push your reindex manually on the side.

Same symptoms today: Nginx error entering books throught eh Add Books interface, and when I tried to add the same books through the Universal Import mechanism, that failed as well.
