Old hat I'm afraid, but is there any way of improving the search function? I know David was looking at this some time ago.
The reason I ask is that I couldn't find any threads in the EG on "loot separate totals" except for the current one. There is at least one other.
Sometimes a Google search finds posts that the forum search doesn't!

The next version of vBulletin, which is going into public beta in early June includes far better searching capabilities (MySQL fulltext searching)

Won't a full text search function have a huge impact on the database performance, though?

It shouldn't be too bad. I'll be running it as soon as it comes into beta on a test forum so we should know before it goes public.

If the full-text search is coming soon, what does the 'Search Entire Posts' option on the Advanced Search page do?

The posts are indexed at the moment.
They're split apart and entered word by word (bar common ones and short ones) into an index table, which is searched instead of the main table.
