Following up on the search stuff, furn has made some progress tweaking the search engine. For instance, the example I gave of Serious Sam turning up zero matches has been fixed. This is because the search engine no longer skips three letter words, "Sam" in this case, and the word "serious" has been removed from the list of words excluded from searches. The default of not searching for three letter words sort of makes sense, but the "serious" thing is a bit odd... I'm sure there's a reason it was included in what's described as the "stop list," but I can't figure it out myself (this list includes a lot of words like "and, "it," "the," and such, which would be skipped by the three letter exclusion anyway). Anyway, this "stop list" is apparently quite lengthy, so if you notice something oddly absent form your search results, drop us a line to let us know... it might just be another "serious" situation.
