I was using the search button to look for "serious" or "sam" but nothing was found, even though there is a mention of serious sam here : http://forum.porting...hp?f=168&t=3912 (last post). I made sure "search sub forums" was allowed and conducted the search a few times, but nothing came out...

Conducting other searches (hidden, pharaoh, lion, francophones, générales) did come up with some stuff... It's not because the language forum is out of the search scope, two french terms were found... How come some words are not found, even though they exist on the forum?

If there is a problem with one of my wrappers, please let me know by posting on the game thread AND by sending me a pm.
If there are no problems, then a little "Thank you!" is always heart-warming! ;)

I'll try rebuilding the search index.

Some general words are not indexed, because each word creates a string, even 'I' , 'and' or simply '.'
We've cleaned out the search index a few months ago, because it was making the database huge.

The search index rebuilds it automatically after resetting, but it takes a few days.

The words 'serious' or 'sam' count as more generic words and are not indexed it seems.

But if you search with a wildcard, like ' serious* ', then you'll get results.
