Hello,
I have had a lot of complaints regarding the speed of the search engine in my forum. Can you please have a look at it?
All the best from Sweden 
My forum is wognum.forumco.com

I tried your search option and found it working reasonably fast; Especially when one considers you have over 11,600 post, and over 2,500 topics that it has to search through to complete its task.
I'm not able to check it out beyond this, not as a moderator anyway. |

Thank you RUImer for your swift reply.
I will send out an email to my members and ask them to test the speed, perhaps it was just a temporary glitch.
It it possible to use Google in some way to search my forum? |

Perhaps its because sometimes the forum itself is quite slow?
I got around 10-12 seconds per generated page at its worst, and 0.08 when its in a good mood. Strange, indeed... |

You are welcome!
Most likely, if it was real slow at the time you were using it at sometime in the past, ForumCo was running maintenance or some other thing was going on at that same time. Or, ForumCo’s server was extra busy doing something at that time. However, it did appear to be running quite fast for me when doing my search.
You may not wish to archive some of the older post or topics on your forum, but having some items in the archive will cut down the size, or number of items, the program has to search through; thus allowing faster (end report) results on your search. That is, of course, if one does not place the check mark telling the search engine to also check the archives during that search.
Considering all the over-whelming amounts of animations, graphics, sounds, scripts, and everything else the Internet now has on almost every page a person goes to, it is a wonder any of us have any “fast results” when doing anything on the net. The faster we purchase new speeds for our computers, the more junk the webmasters throw on the pages we bring up. Most sites I go to, I’m always waiting on them to reply; more so than waiting on my computer and service to contact the other (host) computer. We get faster, they make the job more difficult!
Good luck with your forum. Best wishes.

I got a
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e31'
Timeout expired
/topic.asp, line 435
on my forum. And when I made a reload it said:
This page was generated in 47 seconds.
And when I entered this support forum it said:
This page was generated in 41.73 seconds.
A tad better, but not lightning fast...  |

| And when I continued to look around this support forum the times varied from 0.23 to 57 seconds. |

Strange... my members still reporting about 7 seconds response time on the forum most of the time...
Please fix this, my trusted members are still complaining. Can you move the forum to another server/hardware? |

Your main page loads in 0.06 seconds for me. Active topics for the last two months loaded in 0.06 seconds. It is possible to create a search term which will take longer than 7 seconds to complete. The best way to prevent this is to alter the search term so that its more specific.
I will investigate further. |

Thanks!
I will wait for for more feed-back from my members regarding which pages they visit when they get the slow response times. |

I identified and fixed a problem with the indexes on 4 tables on your forum. They should be fixed now though it may take an hour or two to rebuild them.
I'm also going to ask you to test a new search page later which should be considerably faster than the one you're using now. |

I too have been getting complaints on how slow my board is lately. Is there an upgrade or anything else I can do to speed it up?
My site is seemommygetfit.forumco.com
Thanks! |

I will ask them to try the new search page. Thanks.
When I try to load a topic page on my forum, I got this message twice:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e31'
