I tried to perform a search based on some text within
[http://www.webfoundation.org/2010/03/web-foundation-tim-steve-featured-
on-cnn-segment/ this article] on my site, specifically “Jason Sanchez”,
but got no results.
Furthermore, when I [http://www.webfoundation.org/?s=cnn search for "CNN"]
(for example), only two entries come back:
* [http://www.webfoundation.org/2010/01/importance-of-web-in-haiti-
earthquake-relief/ The Importance of the Web to Help Disaster Relief in
Haiti]
* [http://www.webfoundation.org/about/boards/switzerland/iqbal-z-quadir/
Iqbal Z. Quadir]
…but not [http://www.webfoundation.org/2010/03/web-foundation-tim-steve-
featured-on-cnn-segment/ this one], even though it should.
Other searches had similar problems (e.g., searching for "video", etc.).
!WordPress' built-in search seems to have some serious flaws in its search
algorithm. I'm hoping you can resolve this in an upcoming release.
