I've been twiddling with the way searches work on this server for a few days. I now have a caching scheme for keyword searches - once a search is made, the results for it are cached (and new posts are checked against the cache). I scanned the logs to see what searches were being made, and pre-filled a few. I also made another change. Some searches bring back a huge number of results - and asking a browser to display hundreds (or more) doesn't work very well. At this point, any search that brings back more than 10 results will result in a page of results being shown, with links for Previous/Next added to the bottom. That makes results start coming back much more quickly.
