New Feature Searching type changed to FULLTEXT

Updated the way vBulletin does its searching to use MYSQL based FULLTEXT indexes instead of the ancient Word table method it used before.

Some of the advantages include:
  • Less PHP resources used because the indexing takes place in MySQL.
  • No need to maintain the postindex and word tables which can take up a lot of space.
  • Natural Language and Phrase searching is available.
  • Can Sort by relevancy for better results
  • Default search in vBulletin's latest versions.
  • Can support more searches per minute.
  • Searches can take better advantage of MySQL's query caching.

Of special interest should be the natural language searching which should allow you to now find things much easier (y)
