My work is awesome
There aren’t many places I can think of (two, in fact) where having some dude randomly throws you over his shoulder and stomps around the office is considered an ok practice. Damnit my job is awesome!
Searching Is Back!
It took me a bit longer than I anticipated (mostly due to working on other things), but finally restored the search functionality. This time around, I am using Sphinx as the fulltext engine. Though MySQL’s implementation of fulltext has quite a few benefits, the major downsides are that it tends …
