Paul Magnussen -> Search problems again (Jan. 16 2015 16:35:37)

If I search for “Rito y Geografía” (with or without the accent on the i), I get no results. If I search for just “Rito”, there they all are.

What gives?

Forum software like the ASP Playground software used here can never match the search capabilities of Google, so a trick is to use Google to search for "site:foroflamenco.com rito y geografia". Google knows how to deal with the accents and plurals and misspellings, and you can use Google's syntax like + to indicate words or phrases that must be found verbatim, or - to exclude words or phrases from the search result.

It's not the forum software, it's a Microsoft SQL Server full text index. More like keywords than phrases. Common words and stuff like "y" are not indexed to save space.

Also bear in mind that Google can't index members only areas.

Try without the "y". You can also use "and" e.g. rito and geografía
