[QUOTE=Rob Galanakis;1639]I’ve changed the minimum word length to 3, as the server has plenty of specs to spare. If we start to choke it’ll go back up.
Note to Bjorn or Sim: I only changed the VB settings, are there any server settings that need to be changed?[/QUOTE]
Since you’re using fulltext indices, yes, you have to change ft_min_word_len in my.cnf, reboot mysqld, and repair all tables with fulltext indices (that’s vb_post, vb_socialgroup, vb_thread, and wiki_searchindex). This will take a little downtime. Should I go ahead and do it?
[QUOTE=Eric Chadwick;1644]OK, that works, thanks Dave.
Is there a way to use search qualifiers like NOT? I tried the query cat* -category, also cat* NOTcategory but I still get the keyword category.[/QUOTE]
It’s a Tech Artist’s forum! We should have regular expressions instead! :D:
