A quality of life question re:searching KO's forum

[brianbrubaker]

Hey Tim,

Often times I search the KO forum for a couple keywords to see related posts. But I'm often met with the result that the word(s) were ignored because they are "too common", then nothing is displayed. For example, I've attached a screenshot of this result when searching the forum for "spacing models".

Sometimes I don't know enough unique language to add find what I'm looking for. Other times I would prefer to simply cast a wide net and use my judgement to browse any post or topic that includes a given keyword(s) until I find one that seems promising.

Is there any chance that whatever limiter / condition that's causing this restriction could be removed or altered to be more hospitable to "common" words?

@Tim, just bringing this up again. Any chance this could be addressed sometime soon?

Sorry, the built-in search function of this forum is not very powerful. I am using this PHP-based forum named phpBB, which is rather clumsy but I haven’t found anything neater that works without root access to the server.

Usually googling with site:kern-on.com works. Maybe something like this? https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A ... +models%22
