The search is particularly useful on Commons to find, for example, all
the latest SVGs or OGGs that have been uploaded. What exactly is it
that makes it so slow? Could it be reactivated at least on Commons, or
for certain predefined searches?
It does a non-anchored, un-indexable LIKE match -- basically this means
a complete table scan of the 'images' table. Commons is the worst case
because we have a huge number of images there, so it's the last place
we'd want to reeanble it. :)
One possibility I mentioned in IRC is integrating it with the search
engine backend to do properly indexed word searches?
