Search by User Name Slow?
Is something wrong with doing a search by user name? When I try doing one there is a long lag before anything happens. Most of the time I end up hitting enter again and then it tells me I have to wait so many minutes because I started a new search to early.
It's like it's freezing up or gets stuck. It never used to be like this and other parts of the forum are very fast. I am using Safari 5.0.5 on a Mac.

It may take 30 seconds or so to scan the database and return results. It is working, but due to the size of the database and amount of activity on the site, it does take MySQL some time. We all share the resources of the servers. I think this may have some ties to the delay with the My Recent Topics which I will check on.

Yes but it never used to be this slow before. It's not this slow when I do other types of searches, only name searches are slow.
Nor do I have issues like this on other sites with the same type of search.

It is difficult to compare two sites as being equal for a benchmark. Different hardware specifications behind the sites, different routing, different amounts of activity, etc. CF is considered a large and active forum. CF has an extensive database size with quite a bit of activity.
As mentioned, we'll check into this.
Thanks
