I'm on the phone with my friend (who is also an amazing CGI programmer), and I was bragging about the search on FUDforum.

We took a few moments to try to see how you do it (so we can be inspired to do the same on another project)... can you give us a few hints, Ilia?

Look at the code, it is open source afterall Smile

. The basic concept behind the search is a word indexer that indexes individual words within the text.

Yes, it actually took us some time to figure out that each word is indexed (my friend was blown away by that)...

... But we couldn't reverse engineer it from that point... in other words, what tables/php files are accessed after that to link to the post?

Any hints?
