Words in search query ignored because too common

Postby tog on 2011-07-02T20:29:00

A few searches on this site give messages like:

'The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: expected.'

Is there any way to turn this off? They're sometimes quite useful searches - e.g. there I was checking if someone had already started a thread on the appropriateness of focusing on expected gain to deal with uncertain or risky outcomes.

Has anyone tried asking about this at a phpBB support forum or site?

A workaround is to type "site:felicifia.org your search terms here" without the quotes into the Google.
