Description

Searching is extremely slow on large datasets. This is because LIKE '%SEARCH%' can not be optimized. Use a FULLTEXT index with MATCH AGAINST to significantly speed up searching. A fulltext index will be needed on both title and message.

Additionally hashtags need to be completely redone as these will be impossible to search since fulltext indexes do not index # as characters. Instead keep track of the hashtags attached to an activity entry using a separate database table. This should simply contain id | type | object | hashtag (e.g. 4 | activity | 324 | test) then a simple INNER JOIN can be used to filter the results down very quickly. There's unfortunately no efficient way to fix this B/C wise so existing entries will simply have to be re-saved for this to take affect as it'd be too slow to parse every entry for their hashtags on install.

Note FULLTEXT usage can't be implemented unless CBs minimum MYSQL is bumped to 5.6.

Hashtags and Mentions are now database stored. Still no free-form searching at this time, but is planned however may not implement due to possible performance issues.
