Is the extended search worth the dosh?

[JamesBrown]

I have a million post forum on a dedicated server. What are the benefits of purchasing this extension. Is there a comparison guide between it and the regular search function. Thanks

ES will...

• Keep your database much smaller
• Therefore keep your backups much smaller (and therefore the time needed to do the backups)
• Will relieve your database from the burden of searches (and therefore better general performance)
• Provide your users with a better search including stemming and search for short words and abbreviations, much needed on technical (search for e.g. "SQL") and consumer forums (search for e.g. "BMW")
