Forum Search wont search.

I noticed on a few occasions that when using the search feature on this forum it will ignore common words which is to be expected. Sometime though it ignores words that aren't common. It's only been a small annoyance until now but just now I typed in 'millersrancheggs' and it ignored it. That's ridiculous. I suspect some setting somewhere for ignoring words has been set too sensitive. Please adjust it if you can.

I just tried searching for 'millersrancheggs' and it worked. Did you instead use spaces between the words or something?
The common words list go by a percentage of how often a word is used here on these forums, not just a global list of words such as "was", "it", "a", etc. So, words like "bot" are going to be considered common.

I got 2 results this time. Strange.
I think I understand how it works but sometimes it ignores words that seem like words it shouldn't be ignoring. Unfortunately I can remember them off the top of my head. Maybe I'll post here any other words I find in the future.
