Just as soon as we're willing to give up the dramatically improved performance, I'd guess...

:( :( :(

the search function isn't that important to me...

Probably as soon as the database is purged so it's not thrashing upon a 1.2 GB db with a 612 MB index...

"purged"...

is that like vomiting?

seriously, though, will the old threads still be searchable after the purge?

Bob Dole honestly doesn't know what the plan is at the moment, but it's pretty clear that the search function was causing the performance problems.

yes, it does seem like performance has been much better since the search function was disabled...

it was worth giving it up as far as i'm concerned...

btw, i'm sure i speak for all when i say thanks to kyle and you and phobes and all the moderators for taking the time to make chiefs planet such an enjoyable pastime... :thumb:
