So, then just alter the MySQL Full text search, LOL

It takes 15 seconds to make the change and a few minutes for MySQL to rebuild the index.

The issue is not "it is quick or easy" to do it. It seems you simply don't want to do it.

There is quite a difference in saying "it is not easy" versus "we don't want to do it".

(Or simply install Google site search, that is what we did, ROTFL... too easy)

Nonsense. Rebuilding a search index will not bring down this site. It is intensive, but will not bring down the site or sites. Do it on the weekend :-)

Anyway, to the original poster, it is obvious the site is not going to make any changes and will more-than-likely not install Google site search, so nevermind.. just do something with Google like:

ads site:vbulletin.org

For others interested in this for vB, the process to rebuild a vB MySQL fulltext search index is documented here:

... and no, it will not bring down your forum. That is why there are holidays and weekends :-)
