Or see here: I do a bit of indexing. For example if you specify the "posted by" field, I can give you your results almost instantly. However, there are no limits on the strings you can search for and quite often it's necessary to actually read every line of all 70,000 messages (over 100MB). I suspect no one would try that with pure PHP. > <a > href="http://www.interspire.com/fastfind/demo.php">http://www.interspire.com/fastfind/demo.php</a> It looks like you have to run a separate program periodically to re-index everything. The EUforum search always includes the very latest messages. Also, I don't know if they use PHP code down at the lowest level. CPU-intensive programs will be faster with Euphoria. Search is just one example. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com
