Way too many words unsearchable as "too common" here

Post by fitzhugh »

Admins - I already tried sending a pm to the generic admin user, no reply. The search feature here has failed to be of much use since it rejects words such as:
Menu, Custom, Default, File, Manager, Change, Desktop, etc.

These should not be parsed out of searches. Please change this.
Thanks

I noticed googlebot was the only registered user - maybe I can do a domain-specific google search instead.

This has been viewed 21 times since I posted it last night. Makes me think others have had similar problems. If so, please take a moment and add a simple "ME too" reply so that the admins see this is an issue. I just ran into it yet again when trying to figure out why nautilus is launching. Functional searching helps those of us who break things often!

Hi,

we are solving this problem since you posted it, but rebuilding the search index take so much time. It's not fished now, but we are making progress. Please have a some patience.

Thank you! I understand indexing takes time, so the delay was no problem. I appreciate your help.
