Hm, it does work for me -- when Isearch for "event" I get the entry containing that word?!

Try searching for the word "celica" and tell me if you get any results. It is strange that I get the same results as you do when using "event" but I do not get anything when seaching for "celica" when it should come up for every page.

[garvinhicking]

The MySQL fulltext search strips word that are present in every entry! The MySQL fulltext search has a few "gotchas" that are described in their docs about how their indexing works and how certain matches are excluded

In the future, are you going to replace the current search with somthing that works better? Or, is there another search mod that I can use that works better?

[garvinhicking]

Actually the MySQL fulltext search works pretty well. You don't want to see all entries in real life, do you? So we have no plans to create a different search, instead we prefer to use the quite well performing database internal functions...

Best regards,
