Useless forum "search" option.

[kermitas]

Hi,

as I am a new ChibiOS user I use a lot forum.

Unfortunately "search" option is completly useless!

For a copule of weeks I tryed to search a lot of things and almost in all cases I get:
The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: ethernet.

Can search option be less restrictive? (or only less restrictive for logged-in users)

Thanks,
Arthur.

HI,

Already discussed, I found no way around it execpt (may be) resetting the forum. You can use google restricting the search to chibios.org, it works way better.

Giovanni, while checking the FAQ I saw another mention of the forum search being broken, googled that and stumbled to:

Probably you have already seen and tried that, but won't hurt posting, after all a useful search will lower the amount of repeated questions a lot, even tho google with site: still works, few people know/use it.

Thanks for the link, I re-created the index as suggested, hopefully it will help.

Woot, now it searches for "ethernet", the example of this very topic, might be working!!

Sweet! The search works much better now. It is no longer useless. But Google is still impressive, so it will probably remain a useful tool to search the forum at times.
