The easiest way to diminish search bogdown is to limit the number of rows queried. For example, the first search only looks at the most recent n% of the post table. When they get to the end of the results give them a button to continue searching the rest of the db.
The best solution would be to integrate a real search engine instead of slogging thru the entire database, but it would probably more than double the size of the db, so that might not be an option.
