The search engine sucks

PostThu Jul 18, 2013 10:02 pm

Again, the too common thing is not acceptable. What is too common? What good is a search engine that only finds rare items? If I want to search for "ruth", why can't they give me all the results? I try to search for keeper or franchise and I get the same thing. BS! This search engine is useless.

Strat is such a great thing that gives such great displeasure at the same time. Is this what heroin addicts feel like?

Information

The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: williams.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.


ATG baseball. I want to research Ted Williams. I search for "williams". Sorry, not with this search engine.

I can research "roberts". Gets me 22 replies.

I get 3 for "reniff"

23 for "rose"

53 for "aaron"

135 for "bonds"

"murray" gets me the too common reply.

"dale murray" gets me 78

I realized they ignored "murray" on that one, so I get the Dale returns. Got me to thinking, why not try using quotes to narrow the search, but no, "ted williams" still gets me too common. Can they fix this?
