Hey guys, it might be worth skipping look&feel stuff like icons and other silly requests and do something about the real functionality. Smile

I understand that FUDforum is not a typical commercial app, but even then..
For example try searching these forums for "help problem feature php" with OR logic. You get 40 rows per page and the pager at the bottom is lllooonnngg.. But try clicking any of the pager's links..

Don't get me wrong, your indexing system is quite impressive, it only needs totaly different search logic than you have now.

Using a few simple (up to 3x NATURAL JOINs) SQL queries, your indexing logic gives nice and accurate results even on complex searches.
But first, forget the search as it is now. Smile

Sorry for criticizing.. only trying to help you uncover what needs to be fixed. Smile

P.S. Maybe adding a 'forum_id' into {SQL_PREFIX_TABLE}msg table would save one JOIN on the search query - this way you have to do JOIN on ~msg[thread_id],~thread[forum_id] when trying to limit search to a single forum.
