I turned it back on, but I may have to shut it off again if my fix doesn't like totally work dude.
I'm actually still going to re-write the searching algorithm to include fulltext based searches, but that would increase the indexing on the database by something like times 3 (from 9MB to 44mb) which increases the whole discussion databade like about a 3rd (from 95MB to 130MB).

please, do not abuse this feature as it still not the "best" solution and can still lock up the database. thankfully, I turned a query that was taking between 10 and 45 seconds into one that takes between .1 to 3 seconds.

Dude, guy kid man west side.

sorry, searching disabled... you didn't thnk I would see you searching from here, but I do you sneaky bastard.

i got that msg aaron ^^^

and how dare you callme a sneaky bastard!

the text version isn't back yet, sorry.

oh and the message that "Searching is disabled" is still visible but maybe that's on purpose since you don't want to encourage it

I guess.. I need to re-do the searching and do fulltext index searches. I just didn't write that yet.
I also want to put in a date selector that defaults to 1 month.

I guess the "feature" I need to really make it work more slick is in MySQL 5.. but I'm not bleeding edge enough to upgrade to that yet.

add spell check feature : )

actually nevermind...if you do you'd REALLY slow down the server while is corrects errors...
