Close Search during high server load

With this plug-in installed you can disable your search engine when the server load gets to high. This plug-in add's a new vBoption in the Sever Settings page where you can define your server load.

This plug-in acts exactly like the regular server load limiter but only works on search.php.

Do I see this right that this plugin itself uses 3 SQL queries? If so, only when the search.php is loaded or with every PI?

[Andreas]

The Plugin does not use any Queries at all.
The queries are only necessary once to create the new Setting and the Phrases for this setting.

Those 3 Queries from the Readme create a new Setting (in ACP / vBulletin Options / vBulletin Options / Server Settings & Optimization Options) and insert the Text that should be displayed for this setting.

Ah, ok, thanks a lot.

Thanks for porting this!

I've added a installer script and dubbed the new version 1.0.1. There are no code changes so if you already installed this hack you are already running 1.0.1.

great idea - could something similar be done with sendmail.php, to only send emails when the server load is at an acceptable level?
