texte = Just curious: I state, a search can be considered as active until [/search]. So we should keep the code within the search context as short as possible.Most responsibe for speed is: 1 - The amount of code in the whole template (loading time). 2 - The type of search (complex or not). 3 - The amount and complexity of code within [founditems]. 4 - Available RAM, number and size of loaded databases. Example 1 Single [founditems] and many, many stuff depending on a two-state variable: --------------------------------------- [search...] [founditems] [showif [MyVariable]=on] ...many difficult things to do... [/showif] [showif [MyVariable]=off] ...many difficult things to do... [/showif] [/founditems] [/search] --------------------------------------- I do this most times and (shame) I believe it is the worst method. we have to load one huge page first, then validate all showif's within [founditems]. And showif's can get much more complex than in the example! Example 2 Two [founditems] and many, many stuff depending on a two-state variable: --------------------------------------- [search...] [showif [MyVariable]=on] [founditems] ...many difficult things to do... [/founditems] [/showif] [showif [MyVariable]=off] [founditems] ...many difficult things to do... [/founditems] [/showif] [/search] --------------------------------------- Overall code is equal, but less to do within [founditems]. Might fit better for medium size. I think about adopting this method for all rather short standard searches. Nonsense? Just theory? Example 3 One [founditems] and different include's depending on a multi-state variable: --------------------------------------- [search...] [founditems] [include result_[MyVariable].inc] [/founditems] [/search] --------------------------------------- 5 Lines only and loading just what needed. It requires more templates, but is still maintainable. Now my question: Does example 3 give us most possible speed, or might we loose performance while loading files from disk?
