Hey guys!

After some time, we finally got around to re-indexing our FORUMS search engine, so hopefully it will be working much better and updated these days.

Something strange is happening here...

A search for "Spielberg" in the screenwriting forum returns a bunch of hits, but one of them is:

http://www.joblo.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=97560&highlight=Spielberg

which doesn't contain the keyword, while one of them is not:

http://www.joblo.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=99801

which does.

So, to see if it was just the screenwriting forum that was acting wonky, a few minutes ago, I ran a search for "jordis" in the TV forum and got no hits. But now that I'm posting, I reran the search and it correctly returned the RockStar INXS thread.

And yes, in all cases, I used the default options. ie. "Search entire posts" and "any date".

I just ran a search for "Baghdad*" including the asterisk in the screenwriting forum and got no hits, but it seems to me that I should've gotten a link to:

Neither a search for "carpenter" nor a search for "precinct" in the Filmmaking/Screenwriting section properly returns this thread (http://www.joblo.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=100355).

But both searches return at least one thread they shouldn't. i.e. a thread in which the specified term does not appear.

I can't find a damn thing with the search engine, either. Someone fix it...:(
