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 |

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. |
