Slow results with simple, well-indexed query

[Steven Roussey]

> Executing just the search on the word table, with no joins to the

table with the dates, is still slow:
Then it is not worth while to focus on anything else until you fix that.
Are the contents of this field always in lower case?

Is so, then change the column to a binary type. The explain says:
rows: 318244
Extra: Using where; Using filesort

That means that is sorting all 318,244 (est) records first, then going
down to the 3000th and giving you five records. Just a guess. See if
that helps then we can move on to the join.
