ok.. here goes. lol
Occasionally people had issues trying to post threads causing server timeouts, etc. People started to type thread titles without spaces inbetween the words.
I sussed this problem out as being an issue with the automatic function to display similar threads after making a post... and every thread title had to be searched against EVERY post ever made on saxperience. If someone made a long thread title containing lots of small words, this had a big effect on server capability to process this search request aswell as cater for dozens of other instantaneous requests.
So... I axxed the similar thread search function and reduced indexed words to 4 character... with the exception of 'some' useful 3-letter words.
After these changes, the entire saxperience post index needed to be re-created. just over half of the near 3 million posts have now been re-indexed.
Probably a few hundred words more than you were expecting in a reply, but there you have it
