What happened to that nifty search option thinie?

November 20, 2008 4:22:01 AM

It used to be extra search choice that was selected under the:
"Search in" category which has a drop down menu that says "topic only"
It used to include "Posts only" I think?

I know Kadann removed it for some reason, can't remember why, but any chance of suggesting it back?^^

Server strain I think. It takes far less processing power to search 10,899 one line topics for a phrase than to search 158,460 singular posts which can have perhaps 5,000 words maximum for a phrase. It also has to filter out private boards that you don't have access to, (say DJO boards for nonDJO members), and so on.

I believe Kad was trying to find a way to make the search be a bit lighter on the server load, hence why it's currently removed.
