Like I said, it searches properly.
That has not been my observation. It seems to be more fuzzy than a simple string search. And when I use quotes, that's all that I want - a simple string search.
Well, it does. I had to be convinced also:
»Search removes common words from exact phrases

If I use quotes, the quoted string is what I want to search against.

This can be really frustrating. Using Google gets you around this problem--unless you're searching a forum that isn't googled.
Whats the format for site googles? i couldn't find the post using google either[dont think i had it formatted right]
I would use this at www.google.com:

"site:dslreports.com bobrk"

I didn't find all my posts, though. I don't think justin allows the entire site to be searched.

Add an option to turn this OFF on searches.
trying to find this post in the sinbin fails because the word just is dropped and not searched
"Its just cheese" i even put quotes around it and its still not found because the word "just" is dropped.
No, it doesn't drop the word if it's in quotes, it just says it does. It's a minor bug with the error display.

*object* to turning it off, that creates extra server load.

Quotes should work as expected to search for the exact phrase.

I would also like to see options for "all words" or "any words."]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20437977 Tue, 06 May 2008 01:17:57 EDT common search keywords not searched http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20436823 dvd536 : Add an option to turn this OFF on searches.
