Well...

Let's assume you have

thread1 - 100 times "word"
thread2 - 50 times "word"
thread3 - 10 times "word"
thread4-50 5 times "word"

A search for "word" will return us 2500 posts. BUT there are only 50 different threads.

If your limit is 1000 (like mine) this will only return like 30 threads. So you're missing out 20......I'm actually seeing this on very common words (when searching post and "show as threads").

----------

1. Search Titles Only - Show as Threads = full text index on thread titles
2. Search Titles Only - Show as Posts = full text index on post titles
3. Search Entire Posts - Show as Threads = full text index on posts but grab threadids and display them, basically grouped by thread
4. Search Entire Posts - Show as Posts = full text index on posts

1., 3., 4. is working already. 2. is not (yet). I'll need to fix this then. (At the moment it's searching thread titles only and displaying the first post).

Also it's not weighting post titles/bodies yet (I think).
