Expect board downtime tomorrow (Sunday Feb-22): Better Search

I'll need to take the board down for a while tomorrow while I make some significant modifications to the posts database. The results should be the ability to perform much more accurate and reliable Boolean searches on the post database... but that's going to take a bit longer to get working. So the first step is a couple fundamental alterations to the board database that need to occur while there is no board activity. Then, if all goes well, and the database performance doesn't suffer, I'll begin working on an advanced search capability for the posts and threads database.

More downtime? You mean I might have to actually talk to my FAMILY or go outside or something? Intolerable!



Seriously, good luck with the project. It sounds daunting.

Well, the objective is certainly worth it.

Will we also be able to search titles, separately from content, separately from name of posting member?

c'mon man! I need my fix! Aww...I hope there is a methadone like treatment for ATS.
