What is the best way to search strings for something like forum? i seen horrible string search and typically get worse the more strings you use rather then better.
I also may implement a title search so if the way to search title that is better then a body of string i’d love to hear that too
Take a look at using Lucene (Java) (or Lucene.Net) for full text search. Lucene is a text-mining API that allows you to index and search documents by title, text, author, etc. I’ve used a Ruby port of Lucene (Ferret or acts_as_ferret) to index a specialized mailing list and found that it works very well.
