I've put up a preliminary version of the rewritten supersearch at http://london.openguides.org/kakemirror/supersearch.cgi
Please can everyone test this and give me feedback ASAP? Minor tweaking of the result ordering can be done later; I'm mostly interested in things that are glaringly wrong or obviously broken.
I've had a play with this install and it seems to be working fine with my tests. It still feels quite slow to me (up to 10s of wallclock) for a page to be returned, but as long as that is down to external factors, it looks good.
Encouraging news. I'm going to say it again since I've been Warnocked on this so far:
The issue is that the system is not resilient to bursts of searches. The system needs to be able to resist that. Making it go faster is great as it increases the number of searches possible per second but until there is something that queues searches when there are more than 'n' happening we're still running a risk.
Does this make sense? Presumably this is not hard to solve, and certainly easier than optimising search algos.
