PAID Hack request $$$$!
 

I'm looking for someone to do me a paid hack of search.php (and anywhere else that's applicable) to use the full text search capabilities of MySQL 4.

I want no reference to the searchindex or word table at the end of it all.

Please PM or email your quotes if you are interested.

Give it a try :) search.php is by far the most confusing file in vBulletin ;)

Tell me about it. I actually intended to try this hack myself. But a look through search.php and a couple of Tylenol later, I realised it would be better to pay someone with a little more PHP knowledge than me to do it. :)

freddie you have inspired me! I have joined teh ranks of the "Freddie's avatar protector.."

Freddie your avatar rock!
hope the new vb has the same color scheme ;)

One last call for someone to take on this hack.

Just name your price!

$5000 :D

psst the admin panel might look something like that.

the plot thickens!

lol...sweet! :)

good the purple and yellow etc is rank. i dont even colour my art with purple

Hey! who's thread is this? Go start your own if you want to talk about vB3. :)

Now who wants, to do my hack... for a little cheaper than Freddie. :)

Actually, I did just discover my FT index version of search.php and it's actually very simple to do. At least, the code mods I'm seeing look pretty simple (although that file is hard to follow).

You should have my email (or you could probably get my ICQ number; it's not hard to find :)).

Ed,

Thanks for your help on this. It was surprisingly easy to get it working. I can now make searches with an empty word and searchindex table (although the results leave a little to be desired at the moment). :)

I'm having a bit of trouble with the 'IN BOOLEAN' modifier. Even with + in front of every word, it still seems to return stuff that doesn't contain all words. I suppose I can't expect too much at the moment... 4.01 is only alpha, after all.

Thanks again for your help Ed.
