So as I'm looking through the site and playing with the search I'm finding lots of work to be done about search result relevancy. For example, I clicked on a skill that a user had listed, "computer skills" and I got back users, groups and files with the word "computer" or "skills" < http://spinxpress.com/search_searchwords=computer+skills > This doesn't make sense (I know it makes sense to the code) to me as a user. I expected to see all users with "computer skills" listed in their skills. Also if I'm trying to find someone I run into all kinds of problems. So I want to find my friend Jen Simmons so I search for jen and I get nothing. Then I search for jen simmons and I get nothing. Finally I search for jensimmons and I find her because that's her exact user name. That's seems broken to me as a user. - Michael
