    "postindex" Table

    I want to backup my database, but my host prevents the "postindex" table from being backed up due to its size. I can't even view the postindex table through phpMyAdmin -- it gives me an annoying message which I'm pretty sure is specific to my host.

    Anyway, I just want to see if I can get rid of "postindex". I got the impression it has something to due with forum searching, but am still not quite clear on its purpose. What's the effect of emptying it out and is it advised?

    Thanks.

    That table is only used for the vBulletin search engine. If you are using the fulltext search engine then that table is not used. The same goes for the word table.

    You can check your search engine in your:

    Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Search Type (on the left, not the right)
