Maybe that approach is wrong. I am not a programmer, but the TB messagebase file can be searched as a whole. Only if there *is* a match somewhere, it can look up in the index in which records the match is, and then show the result on screen. Nevertheless - why did the same search took 5 seconds in 3.0.2.10 and >60 seconds in v3.5.x, which *is* close to the "dumb" TC search? Another comparison - I just exported 5500+ messages from my TBBETA folder as single .MSG files into a dedicated directory on my harddisk. Indexing service is turned off, searching those 5500 *single* files via Windows built-in search for a non-existent string (random gibberish) takes 25 seconds. Windows search, searching thru 5500 singles files is twice as fast as TB's search. Again, its not directly comparable, but it shows once more that TB's current search performance is VERY poor. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) Particles no longer move stiffly and formally, if not majestically, in predetermined paths. Rather, it is Marx brothers hyperkinetic pandemonium, Charlie Chaplin slapstick, helter-skelter now you see it, now you don't... it's psychedelic confusion - until one sees the subtle order. -- Jack Sarfatti ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.31 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
