It didn't work for me, I just tried searching for a user's name in the username search box, but nothing came up.

Then the user you searched for has never posted anything containing the words you searched for.

If you check the quoted example, http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/search.php?q=static&t=c&f=-1&u=GrandInquisitor&gb=date you will see it works fine.

Oh I didn't read properly and I didn't search for any words in the query box. I was just looking for all the topics that the user ever made, so I left the top blank and just filled in the box for username, which worked for the previous search function but doesn't seem to be an option anymore.

The one-time indexing is understandable but the drawbacks can be curbed pretty easily. You should keep the mysql search active, but only available as a "secondary" option once a user searched with no satisfaction. Give us the option to "run using real-time search (slower)" on the bottom of the search results page.

Hype threads and other constantly OP-edited threads will probably be affected the most by the one-time indexing.

Cool that you got this setup though. I can only imagine the type of ram a fulltext search on TL would suck up..

Do quotation marks serve any purpose? According to my tests they don't restrict how the search narrows results at all...

The currently only work if the entire search query is surrounded, individual sub-phrases are not implemented yet.

Nope, MySQL search locks the DB. It's gone and not coming back, indexes are already dropped which saved almost a gig, allowing the other more-useful indexes to stay in RAM. I really doubt people need to search to be able to find a LR thread.

Oh you are right the quotes do work. However, the ' seems to throw it off. For example, I searched for "I'm a dragoon" and it returned many bad things... but it worked when I searched for "I am a dragoon" and also transposed dragoon to goon for me in one instance <3

Sounds good. I'm still greatly missing the possibility of simply viewing all posts of a specific user. You are forced to put in keywords whenever you search for a specific users.
I am not sure what to say

There's quite a few things at work there to make that happen, most notably, stopwords.

"While stopwords are not indexed, they still do affect the keyword positions. For instance, assume that "the" is a stopword, that document 1 contains the line "in office", and that document 2 contains "in the office". Searching for "in office" as for exact phrase will only return the first document, as expected, even though "the" in the second one is stopped.


Stopwords currently include common terms like I, a, the.

Thus, searching for "I'm a dragoon" will actually search for "m * dragoon" while "I am a dragoon" will search for "* am * dragoon". Both searches will still have goon / dragoon mapping applied.

I don't suppose there's any way to make a strict quote where it searches for only hits that match your quote exactly?

No, since only words are indexed, not phrases. Any characters that aren't part of the search character set (eg ') are treated as word breaks. The main problem is that "I'm" is read as "m" by the indexer, I'll see about adding a wordform for it.

A suggestion is to use table partitioning instead/on top of indexing. It's a much better scaling out strategy as you can limit load on any one mysql instance. You get the benefit of real time querying and without needing to lose any recent updates. Con is it take a little bit of work to setup.

I never experienced any site slowness or lockups myself, ever. TL has always been the fastest loading site for me after google. But if this new search is stopping a lot of DB killing it's a great addition, nice job.
