I tried this from scratch with 1.1 RC3.  I had my moderators come in and post one post with random text in each of 5 forums using newsclips from ABC, FOX, etc. to give text diversity.

I then went into Admin >> Search >> Search Method

I built a custom Index (Large).

Then I tried searching to see the percentage results.  All were 0%.  So, this truly is a bug...turning off spell check and building indices will not repair it.

This is a bug and hopefully it will be fixed in 1.1 final.

Try the Search.php file from 1.1 RC2 for now - that seems to work fine for most people having this problem.

I don't really find this a bug, I got a revelance; you have to adjust the weights.

Recommendations, do the last 2 as 10% and the others as 20%.

I just went to your site's forum and searched for the word 'hosting'. That sure looks like it's yielding 0% relevance to me.

Oh yeah I changed the weights on another site, let me update them now. Please try again, I have just updated them.

The only problem now is the revelance goes over 100%

Shows it now. And yes, the first is over 100%.

So it depedns on your weights actually, this isn't really a bug then :D

That sort of depends on whether or not it was intended to work that way, doesn't it? ;)

J. Williams

So it's only the problem with the top-heavy that needs fixing :P

It being "fixed" for 1.1 final, makes it actually a bug :P

True, true and how long has it gone on for?
