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?

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.

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?

RetroMan · 28 November 2001, 18:40

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

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

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

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