" I've noticed that what I did a search for is not even in a post that comes back from said search. This is not fiction."

I've seen that as well.

It used to be that using 2 words in the full text search required both words to be found. Now it's something else, I didn't figure out exactly what was returned, maybe it was an OR of the 2 words instead of the AND, maybe it was only requiring the first search term to be present. All I know for sure was that it didn't work the way it used to.

Used to be if I searched for something, that key word or phrase would be highlighted in red on every post that came back from the search.

That is valuable, and I'd like to see it back. It may be that it will only be included in our "advanced search" capabilities, which we've been talking about for a while but should be coming in the near future.
