If people were posting while the process were running, then the later posts would be already indexed when the program got to them. There are more sophisticated MODs on phpbb.com that might do a better job for you. Some of them tag posts as indexed or not, and some are designed to run via cron jobs rather than interactive php jobs. On a very large board that would likely be a better solution.

I seem to have a really nasty search table in the moment with around 25 million entrys. I have a quad core with 8gb mem. and would like to rebuild the table but.....this is going to take for ever I guess? is there any way to do this somehow without the board must be disabled? Hi,
