I understand that PHPBB does not allow searching on phrases, e.g. "ear reddening game". However, I am surprised that the word "reddening" is treated as too common to search on ("ear" I believe, sort of). I wonder whether the common word threshold is set too low at present?

I do realize that probably the most powerful way to search L19 is using Google, but still, I am lazy and I would like to just hit the search button at the top of the page. :blackeye:

I agree that the built-in search function can be maddening, and it would be great if its list of "common words" could be restricted.

For reference, since I keep forgetting how to do it, in a google search box you can type:

reddening site:Lifein19x19.com

or you can search for a phrase by including it in quotes like this:

"ear reddening move" site:Lifein19x19.com

Thanks, I was not familiar with the explicit 'site:' search!
