Forum search not responding

[tanja]

I always get redirected to .com (from com.au) when doing forum search. The whole day today, I just cannot get any search results.
Is there a known latency problem?

Tanja,

The whole site has been on .com for a while now, so there should be no need to sue the .com.au domain anymore.
I just tested the search function and it works fine for me.

Geert, thanks for your quick feedback.

OK - this time the search returned: it took 3min 45sec, with text "rtf filter", search throughout all the posts, displaying single entry per thread.

Is the waiting time really expected to be that long? I never experienced such huge waiting times before and just wanted to signal that there might be a problem.

If this to stay that slow, then the forum search functionality is just not usable. Anybody heard of lazy loading?

Yeah, if you select all boards, and all posts, and then use a popular search term, this is about what I would expect.
The forum software (YABB) sucks, and users have been complaining about that for years now, but I guess it's not very high on the priority list at Sparx.
