GFY Disabled Search. So THAT's why it's running so fast?
That explains the sudden oomf on the board, teh searching is gone.
They should set up a mysql server that's just for searching. No one would care if that ran as slow as balls. |
Search feature is good to have, hope it comes back
|
yeh searching is very useful especially if you're looking for a certain business thread.. taking it away would be completely stupid.
|
I shut if off, it is what makes the board so slow.
Will deal with later.... |

Without the searc function I can't click on the "new posts" link... This sucks big time for me. I will be in crybaby mode for a while now.
|
we want the search back ;)
|
that sucks...... we need a server dedicated to just the search
|
Yeah. They're so interested in keeping it running in the first place.
GFY is like a dirty little secret: It earns enough money to let it stagnate as it is, but it's not going to be devoted any effort into making it into something more. Disagree? Prove me wrong. |
my god man. are you insane ?

Hey Mr Lensman Sir, now that you have posted that GFY does from time to time run slow. Can you let Dean Capture come back to play in the sand pit ?? |
I guess that provided it's only temporary, whatever helps out the situation.
I'd think that the search feature'd be a necessity, though... long-term. |
gotta give the skin owners maximum exposure I guess
|
Search feature or a fast loading board, tough choice

How about using Google site search instead? It's easy to implement (and free).
|
I would have to think that the "new threads" link must have been a database killer.

All they would need to do is transform the major tables to InnoDB if not already and setup a slave server whose dedicated purpose is the search function (or multiple slaves if they really need them) and problem (should be) solved! |
So how many people are running a search at any given time?

Every time someone clicks "new posts" it is pretty much a search. |

As slow and often as this system seems to just 'go away', do you have any idea how long it'd take to rebuild an InnoDB setup? Plus, then they'd have to migrate away from 3.23. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh |
I need to search for a few people so I can contact them. HELP! :D

True that ALTER TABLE would be a bitch...but there are other ways it can be achieved. For example, take a backup and import it on a different server, run the ALTER and whenever it's done, switch that to be your new MASTER and run a script to copy the missing rows over (update auto_increment values if you have to, to avoid duplicate row issues). Some threads/posts might be gone very temporarily but your downtime would be way less. I'm sure there are plenty of other alternatives as well, but I don't feel like thinking it's Friday and time to go down a few :winkwink: |
Who needs search and you can use Google -> site:gfy.com

What, you didn't actually think they fixed the board, did you? :)
|
damn i use that like every time i come here now adays ... :disgust
|
i guess if i have to pick speed or search, I'd pick speed too.
|
just use google and use advanced options to only get results from gfy.com. It's way faster than the search ever was.
|
oh is search disabled, wtf?
