What is the new approximate highest project ID scratch has indexed?
Scratch recently updated the scratch indexer, as there are now projects with a ID of 1 billion or higher on the explore page. I just want to know what the new approximate highest ID that is indexed.

What is the new approximate highest project ID scratch has indexed?
Probably around 2 billion seeing as the previous version could go up to 960 million (which I find strange, seeing as the actual integer limit for how many binary digits it has was already over a billion). That, or the indexer limit is now the 30-digit integer limit which is exactly 1,073,741,823. I doubt the second, though since that won't last very long at the current rate of project creation.
I saw the reply above once I finished typing and I don't think I was ninja'd since we had very different answers

How about we assume that the indexing bug is completely fixed until proven otherwise?

That is a hard assumption to make, has there been a complete rework to the indexer, or has it merely been sped up/ had its cycle lengthened? How about we assume that the indexing bug is completely fixed until proven otherwise?

I'm sure we don't have any idea. We just know that it works now for higher project IDs that it did not work for before. I think it's better to make this assumption until proven otherwise, rather than try to “guess” what the “new limit” is.That is a hard assumption to make, has there been a complete rework to the indexer, or has it merely been sped up/ had its cycle lengthened?

It's probably around 2 billion, not 2147483647 because 960 million is not equal to 1073741824.I'm sure we don't have any idea.
