anyone have a test site to try with lots of posts?

forum.wbfree.net
~270,000 posts

It looks like you have to register to search on that site? Any other sites? I doubt you want hundreds of us registering just to test out the search ;)

ive got 40000 post not much
forums.webrats.com
i thinking of installing this

heynurse :)
Go to AdminCP and select

Usergroup Manager
[Edit] Unregistered / Not Logged In
check yes for
- Can View Forum
- Can View Others' Threads
- Can Search Forum
after it go to Forum Permissions and select what forums Unregistered users will be able to see, read and search :)

does the above in the instructions mean
either edit the databuild.php or do the editing in the files in [note 3] ?

sorry for my English :)
it means that you may edit functions_databuild.php or comment all calls of that functions in all scripts or don't touch #3 (but then your unused word and postsindex will grow and it will take server processor time:)

thank you
so basicly if i edit databuild my search index will not grow right ?
also what does this querie do
FLUSH TABLE post

as i have no permissions to execute it
but the hack seems to work without it
also does this have an affect on similar threads ?

yes - after editing databuild, index will not grow :)
and FLUSH just clear mysql cache for post table. On some servers
ALTER TABLE post ADD FULLTEXT (title)
runs more then 10 minutes and die with error without FLUSH befor? and finish fine in 3 minutes if FLUSH was executed before. Can't explain why it happen, but it happen sometimes :)

Thansk for this hack John - it's gonna help no end I think :)

Great job!

I also don't have the permissions to run the FLUSH query, but as you say, unless the board is HUGE, and the post table is way way bloated, the FLUSH query is not a *required* query to run for functionality ...
