2 things
 

1. http://www.conacom.de/fredsucks - nice 404 error

2. RCK, IIRC we had a 404 error thread. I wanted to search for '404' but the search function only accepts words with 4 letters minimum. ¦| Couldn't you make it to accept 'words' with 3 numbers?

Okayyyyyy... and ?
ho yes, I'll code one 404 error for abime.net one day ;)
...
Can you imagine the size of the datatable of one "index" of all the word of >3 char of the board ?

The actual search index is already to 303,245 entry (10 Mo).
Decreasing the word search power to 3 char would be hawfull for the actual server.

Maybe one day, but not unless huge people request.

no problem :cool

Re: Re: 2 things
 

:confused What does this mean? RCK, could you point me to a link explaining the use of indices for search purposes?

Thanks.

This simply means that more the word you are able to search will be short (actually 4 char), more my database (searchindex) will be big !!

the actual one is arround 300000 entry, enough for the server.

Is the index necessary? How often is this index refreshed/updated?

btw. most time it works using a wildcard as fourth letter (e.g. `404*` or `*404`) :D

It is updated in real time :)
And yes, you must have one tree index like this in order to get quick anwser to your search.

It works like any other search engine :p

One big table with all "word" > 4 char.
One ever bigger table with all reference "thread id" <> "word" inside.

note:
 

We already speak about this restriction (4 char) here:
