@PatrickT thanks yes google is always a good fallback.

I try to point out what doesn't work and hope someone can fix it. I try to make a calculated guess of the best suggestion, sometimes, and point it out and hope someone makes a change. In some cases I give a lot of push and then give up but in this case I think someone should be able to fix the mapleprimes search problem fairly easily.

Thanks for the google tip though. There always more than one way to approach the same problem and arrive at the same answer.

yes

What is happening, I think, is that the site is indexing words appearing in the collection/summary pages of brief descriptions of posts/questions.

Of course, those brief summaries should not be used for indexing keywords. If a keyword appears in a post then the indexed will find and note it at that original location. And that should be enough.

I described this in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this post, in Nov 2010. I described other site indexing points there as well. And while there was no response in that thread, I hope that some of it was considered in the upcoming changed and improvement to this site.
