I'm using 3.1.5. The page is indeed one of the smaller pages on the site.
What's really odd, though, is that if you enter a word that doesn't appear
ANYWHERE in the document (not the keywords, not the description, not the
title, nowhere in the body), it still comes up with a score of 100.
Now, all pages do link back to this index page so the backlink factor may
influence the score, but it doesn't explain why it's finding a match for
words that don't even appear.
If you want, go to http://www.chicagophilanthropy.com/search/ and enter the
word "kraft" as the search term and you'll see what I mean. I've tried
deleting the databases and indexing again, but I still got the same
results....
Thanks!
Ted
