Search doesnt seem to work very well

When searching for members, I have encountered an inconsistent (and randomly repeated) error in the search.


Sometimes I search on the name of a member (just using first or last name) and the result does not include this member.  Then I might go and actually view that members profile (by looking for them in the alphabetical list) and then a subsequent search will suddenly start finding them.


Any thoughts?

Peter, I think search may be working for you but there appears to be a small delay for indexing search.  I tested search by adding and deleting keywords and noticed this delay.  Its not a long delay so I'm not concerned.  It appears to be a normal indexing delay IMO.

Interestingly, I inadvertantly discovered a search issue within Champions. 


Example:  in the discussion forum search type "tag" and 80 results show up: http://champions.collectivex.com/search/results?target=&term=tag&scope=forums


But enter "tagging" and the search does not find some search forums that would certainly have been indexed by now: http://champions.collectivex.com/search/results?target=&term=tagging&scope=forums


Here is a discussion thread that has many "tagging" references that SEARCH did not find:

And here is another:

So, something does not seem quite right with Search.


Thanks
