What do you mean, exactly, John? Are you referring to full text? It's less load than LIKE. The key is making the search more efficient -- not presenting all the results on one page, yadda, yadda.
And I'll get to it.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Yes, sorry if I mis-represented the situation -- I thought you'd said earlier that fulltext searches were part of the thing that crashed the board before.

Well, it was fulltext searches, but any multiple searches that returned 1100 hits a shot from going through post contents would have crashed the server -- fulltext just not as soon as LIKE.

Just tried to Threadsuck PPO, received a fatal error with the text that's generated by this board, not my browser or computer. Kudos to whomever wrote that, by the way, but I'd really like a way to read the pretty alien-boy/rich-boy slash offline.

You know, maybe that error page should automatically feed you some of this to ease the sting. What?

What were your settings, connie? Start and end posts, plus were you having them marked as read?

Too late, busted, going in your permanent file.

Start and end posts both set to blank, not mark as read, I have gone to the end of the thread (but I skipped a great deal, so who knows what pretty things I may have missed?) so there are no posts in the thread that are unread.

Hey, those Naboo spaceships rock. I want one all pretty and shiny silver. Plus the architecture's cool.
