Search Engine still sux.
Why is it that the SE automatically marks words as stopwords??? It seems impossible to search for the Audi Term "S-Line" since both words are filtered out by the SE. Adding quotation marks or plus signs doesn't help. When will this SE behave like all other SE's do???

Hmm, how did "line" become a stopword?
That was an oversight. I'll fix that ASAP, but I'll need to reindex to fix that for all of the old messages.
You should also calm down. The search engine is not google. It will never be google.

Re: Hmm, how did "line" become a stopword?
Hey, I didn't yell, I didn't call names, and I'm calm. I just tell it the way it is!
I've only been actively using the forum for about a year now but so many questions are asked again and again because only a handfull of people get good results with this search engine.
As a test I literally enter a subject as I see it in the forum page, and it just doesn't show up! Go figure.
The SE doesn't have to be Google, but I don't understand what's hard about implementing a proven search & index algorithm.
Don't take it personal, but it just needs improvement!

Could you explain what you mean by "proven search & index algorithm"?
I've been happy with the search that we're using. I've found a couple of dumb bugs with it however, but the indexing algorithm seems to be on target. However, someone did stumble across a bug recently that I haven't had the chance to investigate yet. Some of the indexes have been truncated.
I am working on this, but I'm only one man. Please have a little bit of patience.
