I read through the logs and did not see any search requests from me, so it
seems the server may not have gotten the request.  I am searching using the
web site search engine.  Later, it started responding, and if I limit the
range it responds very quickly.

If I do a full achieve search it now seems to work, but its very slow.  I
keep getting end user complaints about it as well (below is an example).
I'm sitting next to the server and it takes several minutes for it to reply
to my search for raku as well.  Granted the achieves go back to '96, but I
would think it could be faster.

Is there anything I can do top help speed this up?
