The additional results added to the tail shouldn't hurt. Who cares about
the millions of hits google shows up for any random search? Most users
will check the first one or two pages and ignore the long tail.
Mostly true. With the most likely results at the top, it doesn't matter as
much that there's extra results not of interest further down. That is if
performance isn't affected. I don't notice performance issues, as I have a
fast server. Scan times? Memory usage? I haven't investigated.
FTS should not be used if the high memory options can't be enabled. It
uses more RAM, not only for the additional indices, but also for
temporary tables. Without the high memory options enabled you'll
certainly see a performance hit.
On some occasions, I've been interested in how many songs I have with <blah> in
the title, so extra results means that the new search is no good for that sort of
thing. But I guess Advanced Search can be used.
Yeah, advanced search to the rescue.
FWIW: I committed a bunch of changes/optimizations/improvements which
should be in tomorrow's builds. They should improve wirrunna's "beet
symph 1" search considerably. Among many other cases.
