the "actual" version of fulltext inside vB is not working at all... 75% of the results are falsed and bug on most Mysql systems because not fixed... that'S why vB 3.5 will ahve a complete new fulltext integration, mostly based on this one... logically... 0:)

Ah. Why thank you very much. Thus the issue we had when we made the move to VB3 with the high mysql loads and frequent site outages.

I am guessing then I do not need their...

ALTER TABLE thread ADD FULLTEXT INDEX (title);

...querty and I can dump that index.

this actual hack was built before the full index modification was applied in vB 3.0.1, therefore you can delete that index... because vB added the fulltext in vB 3.0.2 ...

Well in the VB version of the code, Full Text seems to work well other than the high loads. Meaning....if someone looks for "the quick brown fox" it finds that. However...I just received this...

I tested this and found he is correct. It does not hit like a full text search should.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thank you.


*** Disreguard...NOTE...You need to have "Allow Search Wild Cards" set to YES in the Message Searching Options area of the Vb Options page.

Hello again...

I searched for the word RAID and the user name of BasementBob on my site in advanced mode. It retured no results even though their are threads by him with the word RAID in it. So the question is...Can you not use both the word box and the user name box at the same time with this hack running?

Can someome please test and advise.

Thanks

Ok, have some more issues and I have no clue why.

In this thread you can see a user reported an issue with not finding posts with the serach that clearly has the words in it.

http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb...d.php?t=246239

After testing I had found this to be true and droped the indexes and regreated them based on the information provided in the install text file.

even tried to find that thread above by seraching for "channels" and even "DirectTV" and could not even find that thread that reported the same issue.

Any thoughts on this?

MySQL version = MySQL 4.1.10a

Hello...Anyone? Is this hack no longer supported?

Thank you.

Do you still have the hack installed? If so then you must have missed some part of the hack install. I just did a search on "+tivo +will +no +longer +change" in titles only in that forum to try to find the thread in question and it returned two threads that didn't include all of those terms in the search results - it shouldn't have returned those. My guess is that you missed some part of the hack install - check it over carefully again.

I have done so now more than once. Not new to this at all as you may see. ;) I just do not get it. Something justis not right and it happen both on TiVo Community Forum and AVS Forum.

Thank you kindly for the reply.

Guys, you saved me! :)

I'm running a >2 Million Posts Board with 500 Users on ... heaviest load during searches using the standard algorithm. Now I tried this hack (vb 3.0.8, including Erwins improved Addon) and load is going down to nearly zero!
Thank God for this hack!

Btw: The built-in-hidden-debug-beta-fulltext-VB-search - don't even think of trying it @ big boards. It will only crash your machines ...
