would be a shame. If it is indeed the case that with another DB
server we will still have locking problems with searches, we might
want another architecture, with a dedicated search (plus several
other functions, such as special pages and SQL queries, perhaps even
Whatlinkshere) machine, which gets its database updated only once
per second/minute/hour/whatever rather than in real time.
I'm very interested in this, too.
If for whatever reason it seems mysql's built-in fulltext search is
not going to work for us, we could pretty easily come up with some
kind of alternative, I think. We could parse the database daily and
generate a very fast btree dbm file, for example.
