​If you upgraded from 3 try rebuilding the search index, it may help.

I am using Sphinx. I do not use it because of performance, but functionality since my forum contains a lot of hyphenated names.  Sphinx is not installable through Cpanel, so you'll have to install it manually.  Finally, all 4.0 releases to current have a Sphinx bug which corrupt the search index when the datastore area is cleared.  4.0.8 is supposed to contain the fix (my site was patched) so you may want to wait until then to implement Sphinx.
