Search Problem
 

How is it possible that a search for "cert" in almost any forum will yield 400 hits, none of which I examine have any form of "cert" in either subject or message?

I probably am doing something wrong but I can't find out what.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. It's just that "cert" will also match "certain" and other words that contain the letters c-e-r-t. I assume you're searching for certificates or the abbreviation for it, correct? You might want to try adding a space after the word cert, (ex. "cert ") so that you don't get the others (certain, etc).
