searching
Love the new look. Speed is incredible. I'm still having trouble searching the database. I can't seem to get a match to the simplest keywords...

Give me an example, Crosby. A cursory look makes me think it's working.

I finally found some problems with it. I'm not going to sweat it right now as phpbb3 is coming baring any weird problems.

The search feature is no biggie at the moment. The main thing is the data is still intact

er, search terms
well, as examples I did a search for keywords: macro, plock, p-lock and got NO hits on my search. I'd like to think the search is pretty straightforward, are you getting hits on these?
I realize its not too big a deal, yet what good is all the data that was saved if you can't retrieve it when you need it? (animal) I mean, are ya just gonna sit and read every post when you're looking for something?
In days past it made for good reading on slow days to type in a keyword and see what past posts came up. Macro used to land me dozens..if not hundreds of posts. Please forgive if I'm searching incorrectly somehow...

In phpBB search is done via keywords. When you post a message a KW index is built and posted to a separate table. Normally this isn't a problem, but when migrating databases it becomes a real chore. That table can get MASSIVE very quickly, I've had 100+ mb phpBB databases where 90mb was nothing but the KW table.
There are some plugins available, I forget the names offhand, that can rebuild this table. It takes a very long time, but you can look into doing it. Worst-case scenerio you could mod the plugin to rebuild this in phases, I had to do something like that for a client project a while back.
I do not know if phpBB 3 will do away with this table. If it does, that would be a very welcomed change. If not, then phpBB 3 will not fix the search problem.

phpbb3 uses a different format for its search table, and has built-in options to rebuild it as it doesn't import the previous table during conversion. So the process of the upgrade is what will fix it.
