Yay! Search works again. Only on entries, not rants, and it's a little slow, but it's better than a sharp stick in the eye. Quoted strings require exact match, prefixed "+" requires, prefixed "-" excludes, ranking is by number of non-prefixed words matched. Anyone know of conventions for partial matches, or should I just give y'all access to the full regular expression search?

The problem is that we use several different types of markup and the user is really searching on the marked-up text (until I get really heinous and fix everything right). And when I fix stuff I'm going to have to restrict the search again 'cause sequential searching sucks. I don't wanna give the users features that they can't have always.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
