(...) been fairly easy. Two weeks after that, however, I wrote a brand new search indexer and results engine which runs on the order of 100 times faster, but which doesn't make such filtering so easy. The old way, what it did was found all the (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
