Albert Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I just installed a new search engine to replace the built-in Invision forum search engine. All searches should now pretty much be instantaneous, even ones that return a huge number of results (like, hmmm, "Atari"). You can also now perform two character searches, such as "Qb", which was not possible before. If anyone notices any oddness, please let me know. Enjoy! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuppicide Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Can I curse here? The first words that came out of my mouth were "Holy Fuck!". This is great! Invision needs to buy this and make it pre-installed from every version now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kripto Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 So I still can't do a search for just the letter E by itself?!? Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 Can I curse here? The first words that came out of my mouth were "Holy Fuck!". This is great! Invision needs to buy this and make it pre-installed from every version now on. Installing it requires a third-party program (the Sphinx search engine), which needs to be installed on the server the forum is running on. I could see Invision refining this (so that wildcards and the "OR" operator work properly) and possibly adding it as an option if you have the Sphinx module installed. But I doubt they'd ever make it the default search engine. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
