Description
I have a node for iPaper, where I am uploading PDF's of my publication. These nodes, for some reason, stop the search index from running and stall cron out until it locks up and i have to go in and manually delete the cron_semaphore element to get it running again, and then it stalls back out.
I have installed Search_Config, and checked the iPaper node type for index exclusion, but it is still trying to index these node types. It seems this component is not working.
I am running Drupal 6.12, which I believe has updates to the DB layer? Is there an update for this module forthcoming, or is there a bigger problem here?

#1
djudd,
Is the iPaper content type provided by CCK and if so what are the field types?
#2
I don't believe it's CCK based. You can take a look at the module here:
http://drupal.org/project/ipaper
Essentially, it uploads a PDF (or other document types) to the Scribd service and then links to that document.
What I discovered is that it tries to place the full text of the document into the search database, which is just way too much information for a large file. I have turned off it's indexing of all text, and that solves my problem.
However, I was never able to use Search Config to exclude the node type.
