<description><![CDATA[Generally speaking, I'm a naturally positive person, but I do have my moments.  This is one of them.  I'm beside myself with Sphinn's search feature.  I don't know if it's a hardware, software or connection problem.  I suspect it's a little bit of everything.This morning, I wanted to test how long my patience could last.  Fortunately, it lasted longer than Sphinn search.  Unfortunately, the following was my result after waiting two minutes for a response.Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded in /var/www/html/sp/sphinn.com/libs/search.php on line 188Folks - I think it's time to address the infrastructure problem at Sphinn.  Please submit your complaint to management here.  Enough voices and maybe we'll get some improvement.Respectfully,Sean<br/><br/>10 Vote(s) ]]></description>
