IceX, is there anything that can be done to make the search actually... useful?

It won't let you search on character names (at least the ones I tried), saying they're too common -- even if you restrict the search to titles only, display threads only. And while I can believe that "Storm" and "Wolverine" are common, that's kind of the nature of the beast here.

I know it may be a board software limitation, but could you look into it?

    Hmm, I'll set the word commonality to 0% so that doesn't happen in the future, but unfortunately that doesn't reset the already common words. I'll have to have the server admin reset the search index file.

    This is still an issue. Lots of "common" words we can't search for.

    Use the wildcard function. So, search for "wolver*" instead of "Wolverine".
