Well...I'm just...stupefied!
It's not just eons faster than the search function a year or so ago, but it's faster than conventional wisdom has told me mySQL can be searched. I'd been told by tech people that only indexing can achieve decent speed re: widespread mySQL searches. Whadja do, Rick? It's like a miracle!
I'm about to switch over my site's discussion boards (currently 1000 postings/day, and a backlog of about 600K) FINALLY to ubbthreads (after hanging around this program for a couple of years, monitoring its progress and helping on some copy issues). If I can get away with NOT indexing all that data, it'd sure save me disk space and bandwidth...
