Great feedback yesterday, so lets try this one more time (probably the last you will here of this until the code drop)

New and (hopefully) improved search:

• Displays first 100 characters
• Uses “and“ and “or“ along with “&&“ and “||“
• Primary index is based on HTML stripped posts
• Posts are weighted by date, comments/trackbacks, characters (count), t/f article. The max value is a 32 (details on the search page)
• Clicking enter in the search textbox, should fire the search

I also forgot to mention yesterday that the core of the .Text search feature is Lucene.NET. So far, its been pretty trivial to create a pretty powerful index using Lucene.NET.
