After spending a month looking at various options that other large vB forums do it became apparent that none of them really sped things up much, or if they did they would cost a ton of $ to implement
...but..I figured something out that works just as well - I only have it working for the past 3 months of results but the rest will be up by early next week.
All search terms are good... even the dreaded.. tiesto.

Searched for bacon. Yeah, was looking for some breakfast.
Fast service! (and *cough* no need to tip )
What is it that you've changed?

Seems pretty good on my end, although I'd rather have to wait for my results and have a more powerful search, personally.

What do you mean 'more powerful' - you have the major boolean operands available to you

I meant options like being able to search the full text of a thread, or just the text of the original post, or just the thread title. Or being able to search posts by a specific user for a specified word of phrase (maybe even within a specified time frame as well.)

All of that is there right now (I put search by User back in ) - search within thread seems to be broken, that'll be fixed tomorrow.. now I sleep.

I'm still not seeing the search by user.
There are definitely some kinks in the system.
I searched for "tiesto" in thread titles only and got this thread and quite a few others that didn't contain tiesto in the title. Does it search the title of each post or just the original? And could we choose? Also, searching for "tiesto" in thread titles yields more results than searching the entire posts - that can't be right.
Hope that helps. Anyway don't work yourself too hard, a few idiots aside we can wait for search to be perfect.

i've tested out several words. hopefully we can set up a database for the english langauge.
these are my inputs:
sammy - 2 seconds
dell - 2 seconds
scooter - 2 seconds
dreden - 9 seconds
...known from a videotape the two made when they met in March... in Dresdens home, Dresden amputated Gabriels penis and Dresden and Gabriel ate the penis together...Gabriel had insisted that Dresden bite his penis off; this did not work.. Dresden used a knife. When that knife turned out to be too blunt, Dresden used a sharper knife to slice the penis off. Gabriel apparently tried to eat his share of his own penis..but could not because it was too..."chewy". Dresden then sautéed the penis in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic.
