Search results all messed up
This is really weird.
When I search for an "exact phrase" that IS in the description field in the database, I get "Search failed, no results".
Then I search something like "hey dude how are you doing" which is obviously NOT anywhere in the database (with bool=and) and I get 100 results!!! This is crazy.

Another thing that happens is that when searching for something that on Links 2.0 would give me 15 results (same database) now gives me only 1 result. And if I use search-ni.cgi, I get -2 categories and 1000 links!.

This is all messed up. I think there is lack of documentation and I'm not that happy having paid $450 for something that works this way and has so many "minor" details that have to be worked out.
If it is thought for "large sites" and it recommends the use of mod_perl, then why isn't there any documentation on installations with mod_perl?
I'm not saying this sucks. I mean the system is great, I'm just really not in a good mood right now.

Anyone else having issues like this?

Anyway, I would really appreciate a helping hand with this and my other two posts in this forum.
Thank you.
