New: Faster more relevant searches

[Shaun]

I've added the new Xenforo Extended Search application to the CycleChat setup which gives us lightning-fast search results and better relevancy using stemming*.

There is no wait for your posts to be added to the search results, like our old software, and you can even search for two-letter words and abbreviations (which isn't available with the standard MySQL search).

It operates independently of the forums software and is dedicated to just indexing content so it takes some of the load away from the forums enabling them to run a little quicker too.

Enjoy.

*Stemming: The use of linguistic analysis to get to the root form of a word. Search engines that use stemming compare the root forms of the search terms to the content in the database. For example, if the user enters "viewer" as the query, the search engine reduces the word to its root ("view") and returns all matches containing the root and its variant forms - like view, viewer, viewing, preview, review etc.
