incomplete search index ?

The search index doesn't seem to completely work for all possible search strings.I tried search search strings of http://rfs.oupjournals.org/ and even just oupjournals but got no hitsHowever, when searching for "Review of Financial Studies" I got a number of hits, including:http://www.wilmott.com/messageview.cfm? ... 17411which contained the text: http://www.rfs.oupjournals.org/.So, am I misunderstanding what constitutes a valid search string?

The forum search works using MS SQL Server full text index, so it is supposed to pick up any individual word with the forum, but it does appear that some web links and very long strings are not being noticed via this method. I will look into things and speak to the creators of the forum to see if this can be addressed in any way.Thanks for bringing it to our attention. If a fix is found, I will post it via this thread.RegardsJames
