Thanks Guys. Looks like it's working like a charm....
Search results are down to about 2-5 seconds from a 20-30 second average on 3.23
I'm still somewhat curious why mysql focuses so hard one one query at a time, I was under the impression that it multi-tasked, and if thats the case ie how would more than one user be connected to the forum if it weren't? How come when someone does a search every other query grinds to a halt until the search is completed?
