Good question.

What is the status on this? Are a lot of you using it successfully? I'm considering trying it.

I've been using it on my largest site (1.6M posts) for a few months and it's been working very well.

Personally, Iwouldn't recommend the 3.0.x fulltext search for large sites. Functionally, it works, but since it only used In Boolean mode, it canbe resource heavy. The 3.1 FullText search has options for Bololean andNatural Language search as well as many little optimizations throughout the code.

You know , I've seen that option in the vB options in the admin CP. wanted to try it, but wasn't sure if I should. Now can I test it out woithout clearing my search index?? I'd rather not reindex the search index if this doesn't turn out good results.

Thanks for the tip, Freddie. I'll have to read through the thread again so I better understand - You mean vB 3.0.x vs. a future 3.1 version of vBulletin?

My board isn't very big. The data and index of the database is only about 200 megabytes (attachments are in a separate directory).

I don't plan on doing this right now - maybe in a couple of weeks. Just scoping things out in advance.

How do I enter the debug mode??

THanks

Edit your config.php, and place the following line in it:

Hi, I just switched to FullText Search with Vbulletin 3.0.13

I would like to know if the FullText Search is know more stable than it was in the past ? Is it better than the FullText Hack provided by JohnWoo (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...light=fulltext)

Last question : Except the two queries (Index stuffs with Post and Thread tables) and the "vboption[fulltext] = 1", am I supposed to do something else ?

Thanks in advance for your answears !

/Edit : One more question :D The Relevance Search doesn't seem to work with Fulltext ?
