Re: no hits...

That's wierd - I get the same thing.  Something odd in the search algorithm?

I blame a developer with a big stick.

Re: no hits...

Yet the phrase 'pacman is dead' turns up loads of hits.

Re: no hits...

Yesterday I made a search for the word bug so I can figure out how to submit a bug report and nothing came out.  This refers to how it started http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 50#p393450

Re: no hits...

Hmmm I think i'm going crazy now...

My search for 'arch' not only comes up with no hits, but a completely blank white page!

Re: no hits...

This might be the result of an automatic stopword algorithm; there are too many posts including the word pacman so it would be hard to find the relevant ones.

Re: no hits...

It 'aint my fault, I swear! Try searching for other really common words like "the" "then" "and" "else", they all return no hits. I'm not sure why or how, but this must be punbb's fault wink

Re: no hits...

Although Mr Green's question is about the forum search my post was about the wiki.  At least the standard is uniform.
