Bad Search Results!

Hello, All -

I have a bit of an embarrassing situation. I have just shown my latest client the first stage of her new website. She promptly plowed through it with the kind of diligence you would normally associate with a tax inspector. To my relief  she then went on to tell me how satisfied she was - apart from one small thing...

The search engine is returning records which do not contain the search word!

I was rather indignant as I've never known the CMSB search engine to fail me before. Unfortunately, she is absolutely right!

My search code is based on the searchMultipleTables apprroach:

<?php
  require_once "cmsb/lib/viewer_functions.php";
  $searchOptions = array();

  $search_string = @$_REQUEST['q'];


$searchOptions['keywords'] = $search_string;
$searchOptions['perPage']  = "10";
$searchOptions['debugSql'] = "0";



$searchTables['pages'] = array(
  'viewerUrl'       => 'index.php',
  'titleField'      => 'name',
  'summaryField'    => 'content',
  'field3'          => 'permalink',
  'searchFields'    =>  array('name','content'),
);


      list($searchRows, $searchDetails) = searchMultipleTables($searchTables, $searchOptions);
?>

My client is very big on "communications". When she searches for the word CMSB returns about 9 pages - but only half of them contain the word.

The only thing that might be a factor is that the URL of the site also contains the word "communications". Could this be skewing the results?

Otherwise I cannot explain the problem at all.
