    The search function in wordpress sucks big deal. I want to change it in my wordpress site. Which is here

    I want to change it. If i search for 'article writer' then it brings many posts with the keyword 'article writer'. But if i search for 'article writer wanted' then it brings those posts which have the exact term.

    Why doesnt it bring those posts which has 'article writer' in it?? atleast it has two of those keywords.

    NOTE: I dont put the quotes around my search queries.

    if there is any way to change it then please tell.

    wordpress' search function is sketchy at best. Why don't you try Google Custom Search.

    Actually i want to display the results just like what i get in wordpress search. With google custom search the results are displayed in google's pattern. I want to display it like 'date of post' 'comments' etc.

    hope i am making some sense..
