FastSearch

Question

How can I improve the speed of searches and categories on large sites with slow machines?

Answer

• Be sure to have find and grep in your Path

How do you find out if find and grep are in the path?

• Put grepsearch.phpΔ in your cookbook/directory.
• Add the following line to local/config.php:

        @include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/grepsearch.php");

• Edit the pagelist.php script and comment out the MakePageList function (it is redefined in the grepsearch.php script)
