Sender: owner-freebsd-www@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Regarding the maillist search engine, what's an acceptable machine load for FreeBSD's www service? I had a good talk yesterday to one of my friends about an overfeatured search mechanism for my own needs. We came to the conclusion the customization requirements I have make use of a keyword database quite useless (not too much to gain). For FreeBSD usage, any idea on the following: - What's the timeframe the typical search user needs? Always back to the 1994? - How much lists are usually searched in parallel? Should one optimize for the hackers/questions/current -at-once case? Where are the apache log files, BTW?
