!Friendica Admins Hi Admins! I'm currently preparing a new pull request that will improve the search. by now we had the problem that the full text search on really large systems was unusable. Also the results partly were misleading since the search also included parts of URLs that were part in the messages and so on.

With this PR we now have got a separate search index. This has got the advantage that we can now use the search pattern that were introduced with the channels. See here: github.com/friendica/friendica…

This only has got a downside: This new table will need space. I guess that it will be slightly less space than the space that is needed for the post-content table.

I don't really want to create some option to enable or disable that search index, since this would mean that you had to delete or recreate the search index, when you changed that setting. And especially the recreation takes several days. But of course we could limit the search index to a specific number of posts or to posts in a given time frame.

What do you think?
