It seems that my copy of links sql only searches the titles. How do I make it search the descriptions and titles? Does building the detailed pages make it search the descriptions as well or not? Thanks

I think this is the answer for you.
Go into your admin.
Click links, under table maintenance.
Then click edit table definition.
The last column is index weight.
Andy fields that have a 0 do not get searched.
Above 0 get searched. The higher the number, the more weight it gets in the search. i.e. if title has a 3 and description has a 1, then the title match is considered as a better match...make them equal and you should get both. I have an extra field called keywords, and I weight that as a 4, description as a 4, title as a 3, and url as a 2.
I hope this makes sense to you.
