I’m digging the “limit forums to 200 posts” fix if that’s what made the search so amazingly fast. I needed to find where I first mentioned a specific NFL player. I remember talking about him in his rookie year in 2005, so I figured around 3 years back.
Entered me as the poster, his full name as the search key, range of any date, show results oldest to newest, search all forums*, display as posts. Go!
I swear to god, there was no delay whatsoever. The search results page came up instantly, and the post I was looking for was the second one listed.
Just wanted to offer that feedback.
- Note that this was one of the reasons we are so happy with the sports forum. There was literally no way to even remotely guess if that NFL thread was in the Cafe, MPSIMS, or IMHO.
