search function on the fritz?

Or is it just me? Apparently, there are no posts that contain the word "the". It was working before. :weird:

"The" is an extremely common word and is not indexed. As such it cannot be searched for.

A list of such words can be found (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/fulltext-stopwords.html) on the MySQL website

Also, why would you be searching for the word "the"? :weird:

I believe you want "teh"

Actually it works just fine, but to improve performance, the search results give you all the threads that DON'T contain the word "the". That way it's very easy to see which threads actually do have it (it's that ones that aren't in the search results).
