RDN Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 We have taken the forum search engine offline for the moment due to extreme traffic and server load./Admin <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It used to worry me about how quick your search engine was and what effect it had on your servers. I used to work on a system in the UK that had a very user friendly search engine, but we discovered that if more than about 5 users tried to search the database (which was totally memory resident) at the same time it would use up so much processor power that critical functions would be adversely affected. So it had to be redesigned to remove the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy New Year <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a Firefox extension called "Knowledge Fractal" - it's brilliant! You can set it up so that when you highlight a member's name, it does a Google search for that member, and the first thing it comes up with is the member's profile. Very useful. For example, if I highlight Doctor P, I get this: http://www.google.com/search?q=dr_Pat_Pong...ww.thaivisa.com As I said, very useful! Happy New Year to one and all!
