If he would wake up, I could get this done with and we could all be happy :)

It took some work to get the diff done, because the version Yogi gave me was against gamma, and the change in code is huge (the new search.php is ~600 lines smaller), so I had to do a little manual patching. Maintaining it going forward might be a bit of a pain, we'll just have to see though.

I'll post more when I'm ready to post it.

It took me less than a day to put it together. It consisted mostly of commenting out a few hundred line of vB's phrase logic (which is replace by mysql's boolean search capabilities) and then changing a couple of lines of the SQL code. From the user's stand point it looks EXACTLY the same as the old search engine :)
