Slow searches and non-product content!

Hi PHP experts (competents at least).

 

There are two search related problems with OSC:

 

1, Slow product searches if you have a lot of products...

 

2, Searches do not list non product content such as support, user manuals, company information etc.

 

I have problem number 2 but I know many of you have problems with product searches bringing your server to it's knees.

 

MY SUGGESTION: Develop with me a search engine based product/other-stuff search facility based on the phpdig (GNU, GPL) search engine.

 

(MODERATORS: I don't have a line of code yet but when I do, I'll contribute it!)

 

Indexed searches are a zillion times faster than ad-hoc queries and searching non-catalog pages is important for many sites.

 

I've had a look at phpdig and it's got real potential so I'd be glad to hear from you if you can help/are interested.

 

Cheers,

 

Beer
