It occurred to me when I was trying to find older topics concerning morals. I'm sure there is a whole thread for the "you can't be moral without god!", but since the title can be anything from cheese to saturn, I tried to do a search with:
1)Moral
2)Morals
3)Morality
Every time getting the error message of using a too common word and not getting a result.
So I limited the search:
1)Only Topics
2)Topics in Religion & Irreligion
3)Topics in Religion & Irreligion from the last 2 months
And still getting the same result of being too popular of a word.
And this is the suggestion: Since I'm pretty sure this search wouldn't return half of the forum, why not remove the block of common words? I realise some sort of a limit must be in place to prevent the site functioning alltogether when someone searches for "is" and finds the whole forum, but if it's possible to limit the search otherwise? Like for instance so that a search only returns the first 50 results within the search parameters and then stops the whole search-process.
Seems silly to block some common words just because they're common, when some less common words with more loose parameters can return a plethora of results as well.
