I consider this a shortcoming of our Search Engine. A search for "symptoms" turns up a different set of hits than a search for "symptoms.". That seems wrong.

I've stumbled on another troublesome characteristic of the Search Engine, and that is its treatment of punctuation marks. For instance, your post includes the word "overcome". If you search for posts in the 4Gen forum made since yesterday for the word "overcome" there are no hits. If you search for the word "overcome." (note the period) it will find your post.

You're right, Daniel. Whitespace (i.e. 0x20) hex characters seems to be the demarcation of how the search words are "split" and viewed. That is another nuisance as well.
