Better Forum Search

The search option is nice and all, but it seems to ignore too many words because they are "too common." For instance, when you search for "Private Market Trade," a popular suggestion, it ignores "market" and 'trade" and only displays results for the word "private."
Surely there is a better out-of-the-box search engine that could be used. If you type in "Haypi forum private market trade" on google you get the exact results you are looking for. I'm not expecting a google equivalent here, but some improvements would probably make for less repeated subjects.

Re: Better Forum Search

Yes. It seems like nearly every time I search using more than one term, one of them gets ignored.

Re: Better Forum Search

yeah the most common terms are filtered out of the search making it very irritating when searching for specific subjects

Re: Better Forum Search

What I really loved when I didn't know how to find the expert nomination thing at first was how I'd do a search for it and it ignored expert and nomination so I was left with anything with server in it's name basically... really need to fix that kind of thing

Re: Better Forum Search

I recommend just using a google search and starting your search with "Haypi forums" now
