Hi guys,
We try to encourage people to use the forums for a lot of things, and I
often find duplicated posts. After playing around a bit, I realised that
the search on our forums is AWFUL. It's so bad *I* cannot find anything
using it.
With this in mind, I took a snapshot of the forums and set them up using
a specialised search engine called Sphinx. The result is PHENOMENALLY
better.
For example, trying to search for the infamous "Fatal error -1" problem:
http://forums.openlp.org/search?Search=fatal+error
And now using Sphinx:
https://forums.openlp.io/search?Search=fatal+error
SO. MUCH. BETTER.
And that brings us to the only problem with this... We can't use the
current web hosting that we use for the website, forums and support
system. To be honest, I don't think it's a big problem, we can easily
host the forums on openlp.io... except that we're now putting the forums
onto a box that sometimes can be unreliable (usually external factors).
I could, however, host it on my mail server, which is in another
country.
Thoughts?
