Question
How can I improve the speed of searches and categories on large sites with slow machines?
Answer
- Be sure to have find and grep in your Path
How do you find out if find and grep are in the path?
- Put grepsearch.phpΔ in your cookbook/directory.
- Add the following line to local/config.php:
@include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/grepsearch.php");
- Edit the pagelist.php script and comment out the MakePageList function (it is redefined in the grepsearch.php script)
