Fixed. "because" is a "noise word", meaning it occurs too frequently in the English language to be a worthwhile search word. I pre-process the search words to strip out noise words, but apparently it was case-sensitive. Noise words are stored only as lower-case. This was making "Because" a part of your search criteria, which Full-Text Search (FTS) doesn't allow. So I changed the pre-processor to look for the lower-case version of each word you entered to compare with the noise list. You can enter noise words in search criteria, but they're discarded before the search is done. Here's a list of words that're considered noise words and are therefore discarded in searches: about 1 after 2 all also 3 an 4 and 5 another 6 any 7 are 8 as 9 at 0 be $ because been before being between both but by came can come could did do does each else for from get got has had he have her here him himself his how if in into is it its just like make many me might more most much must my never now of on only or other our out over re said same see should since so some still such take than that the their them then there these they this those through to too under up use very want was way we well were what when where which while who will with would you your a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
