in reply to Dont list replies from searches

The "Main Search" is in the top left of the screen, unless this is a user setting I don't see how it's possible without adding clutter. OTOH adding an option to Super Search to NOT check *titles* for the supplied keywords seems reasonable. You'd still get replies showing up, but only replies with relevant content. I don't think you want to completely eliminate replies from the result as it is my understanding that recently the result set was modified to return in order of best match?

perl -pew "s/\b;([mnst])/'$1/g"

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Perhaps the depth of the node could be used as part of the algorithm to determine the relevance of the match? That would cause the main nodes to float closer to the top of the search result list.

      Possibly, but search is already expensive. My suggestion ought to actually lighten the load, checking the depth adds work; I would imagine the only thing a node knows is its parent, not its family tree.
