Ok, I restored the missing search words and word/post matches. However, this is a huge chuck of data in the database.

About 1 Meg just for the word matches table alone. It would be a heck of alot more should I have left in the original DGDev Forum words and wordmatches in there too. We're talking megs of it...

At any rate it may not be such a great way to handle searching the forums in the future with the addition of thousands more posts being added in the future. Gives me something to think about when making improvemnts to the site.
