Search word too common

I'm just bringing this up because I thought it funny.

I just did a search of the Media Lounge forum for "Taken". The search failed and told me that "taken" is either too short or too common for the search to bring back any results.

However, searching for "rate" -- a shorter word and far more common in that forum -- brings up plenty of results.

What wonky results have you found using the search function?

(If anyone has a link to the Taken discussion in the Media Lounge, post it please.)

I went back through the forum manually, and didn't see a thread. Could have sworn it was discussed.

Weird. We'll probably need to re-index at some point. My guess is that the search criteria were changed at some point, and youre picking up old "rate" threads -- but Taken shouldn't be too short or common a word.

Unless every other thread a year or so ago was about the Black Company or something. :shrug:

Thanks LightPhoenix, but I was looking for discussion on the movie from earlier this year (late last year?), with Liam Neeson (sp?).
