search results are in the wrong order

running 1.8.7

I've been trying to optimize my pages with relevent titles and content but When I do a search on my site for something like "oulook xp" other less relavent results come up before it. A result with the actual keyword in it comes to 77.46 %. while other less relavent searches come to 100%

test it here: http://eworldportal.com

I'll even look up something like "xp" and nothing will come up at all even though I have a page setup specifically for xp's outlook located here:
http://eworldportal.com/website/prod...tlookxp/xp.htm

I've tried all the settings...any, exact etc.

Let me know what you suggest I do for this scenario and others.

Thank you
Ben

Check your config file to see what the minimum word size is set to:
define('SMALL_WORDS_SIZE',2); //words to not index - must be 2 or more
define('MAX_WORDS_SIZE',30); //max word size

This part of your config file smay be set to something different.

I know it's not that big of a deal, but I'd like to just be able to manipulate my search results a lot better.

Hi I have just been to your website and tried a search for smtp.yourisp the result is from quite deep inside your website http://eworldportal.com/search/searc...=10&option=any
So it looks like the spidering is going deep enough to find the results and I would expect that it may be caused by the length of the words "xp" perhaps changing the values in your config.php file down to minimum of 1
Perhaps define('SMALL_WORDS_SIZE',1); may well help it find the results, it may be worth a try?

The error message that comes back when I do a search for "xp" is
"xp", is too short a word and was ignored.
So it may well be to do with the length of the word settings!

I Hope this helps
