Does this mean that we will NOT get full text search back soon? That would be
a shame. If it is indeed the case that with another DB server we will still
have locking problems with searches, we might want another architecture,
with a dedicated search (plus several other functions, such as special pages
and SQL queries, perhaps even Whatlinkshere) machine, which gets its database
updated only once per second/minute/hour/whatever rather than in real time.
