I took another stab at fixing search (cause I hate to lose) and I might have it working reasonably well. YMMV.

Yip-yaa! Yup. It's working... albeit slowly. Seems to be returning more accurate results also.

Yep

Yeah, it's not going to be very fast but it should be reasonable (less than a minute to search all forums). When picking a smaller forum subset it seemed much quicker than all forums, any date.

I'm not sure how it will hold up under load but we'll find out Monday I suppose.

Seems to be working! THANK YOU!


I have a design quirk issue I would like to bring to the search table. When you select to search by more options on the right the refine search (by time. "Search posts from...
Older/Newer" the default is "30 days ago and newer" But I would think most searches are for older threads/posts?

I'll defer that until v5 comes out. There is an endless amount of tweaking that could gbe done but I really have a lot to do for v5 so I'm really just trying to deal with the major stuff as far as v4 is concerned.

Thank u, c-mac.

The search feature is the most beneficial part of this site IMHO...

Erik are you not going to add ( The Corner ) to the Search Forum choices?

cthree

No, the corner is specifically excluded. It accounts for almost a third of all posts and is largely nonsense.
