Sorry to butt in here, but I am just wondering, would a stop word or query filter of some sort improve performance by not allowing searches on common words? For example you could filter out single digit letters, swear words etc.

This would also prevent prankster search queries showing up in the search stats.

There is already a stop word and single digit filter built into Links SQL. The stop words are found in /admin/GT/SQL/Search/Base/Common.pm (line 24). By default a query must be 3 characters in length. This is set in /admin/GT/SQL/Search/Base/Search.pm (line 56). You can change the values of both, but you will have to reindex.
