I believe



'Make the search words the same as encoded stuff

    strSearchKeywords = removeAllTags(strSearchKeywords)

    strSearchKeywords = formatInput(strSearchKeywords)

around line 194

Has to be put before



'Split up the keywords to be searched

sarySearchWord = Split(Trim(strSearchKeywords), " ")

Right now it seems that SarySearchWord isn't encoded properly to find html encoded entities in a topic or message search, and reduces the amount of results returned from the database.

I've created a search engine for a mod and found this by accident. I may be wrong here, but I had issues with this one and now the returned results are twice as high for most searches (for the mod, haven't tried the forum search yet).
