Anyway, personally I found a little strange that it looks like you iterate in the very same place for search and qsearch, wich would be a little disgusting (for me), but im just guessing. When I have tried qsearch hash, i used depth always 0(wich is a little bad near the final cut), didn't try other thing, and there was no gain, but i have to try again since that was more than a year ago I think. >Of course I should write an extra qsearch function to avoid such case queryies. I also have the qsearch inside the same thing. It is executed in the place of your point number 3. seeyou.
