Thanks "jgeoff" and "Rick".
We changed the settings to all blanks for the search. I think for our readers blank is better than default because of the long history people search on. There really isn't a "norm" for our searches.
We did some fiddling around with MySQL like incresing cache and some other things. It's definately better, but we're still encountering some small freezes.
Any other tips for a Windows-based server running MySQL?
I know... MySQL is more optimized for Linux and Apache, but we couldn't go that route.
