RE: local search support

Wez don't get upset... I can understand that this is an open source project and I appreciate the hard work done by all the people involved in the project. I'm afraid that people will start complaining about the search results that are not efficient. Like Shimi said it would take sometime but it will work later on. I can't offer a patch because right now we are discussing what is the best way of implementing the search engine. Yes I agree with you that we should get the load of the main server and put some on the mirror because the mirrors are actually useless right now (and so is mine). But I would suggest the following: 1. Goba's idea of putting a dedicated box for a search engine 2. Simply distribute the search to the mirrors that provide local search support (instead of having just ca.php.net - I believe it was called like that) The dedicated box has a problem that somebody has to offer it and I'm afraid it will take forever (just like the European rsync server that it was finally droped as an idea). The distribution of the searches to the mirrors I believe is something simple to do. Those are just thoughts and doesn't mean that I'm complaining. I'm just trying to help...

I don't think you appreciate the effort that has gone into this, or by how many people, over the last 24 hours alone ON A VOLUNTEER BASIS. Now, we can refine the situation, but it will take time and effort; just be patient. Even better; phpweb is opensource, why don't you stop complaining and instead put some effort into submitting a patch to make things work nicely? --Wez.
