[FX.php List] Hitting a FM Server with a large search request

[Edward L. Ford]

Hi everyone,
Currently, I have a search page with 15 different fields a user can  
fill out.  I feel like this is a lot just by the sheer number of  
options presented to first time users.  I'd like to have a one field  
search box only -- users love simple interfaces -- and this search  
searches all fields.

My only concern is the load on the FM server by requesting it search  
for a string in 15 fields (and possibly more than that in the  
future).  Does anyone have any experience with this issue?  I'd love  
to hear from your experience.  Also, if anyone has any thoughts on  
reducing the load, or building in some sort of "smart search"  
capabilities to help the PHP application, I'd be interested in your  
thoughts.

Cheers,
--Ed
