Today I finished rewriting our search engine to use Sphinx RT indexes which means new content is indexed in real-time.
All new posts, edits, thread renames / moves, etc are now immediately visible in search results. While I was at it, I fixed a couple of the annoying limitations with the old search such as not being able to title search by username (eg, find all topics by a single user), and being unable to find many results when doing forum specific title searches.
There's also a preprocessing step that removes quotes and bbcode, so you should no longer find duplicate content results where people have quoted the same person 100 times.
Any problems / questions, please post!

Does this mean you can hide a post from search by placing it in quotes?
Edit: Answer: Nope.

Rich making the site more awesome once again. Gj!

Much appreciated. Going to give it a spin now.

No more excuse for people creating the same thread again and again.
