This is the whole error message on Influence:

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : Influence

The too long, too short and too common list is part of the SQL server (out of reach). This word is not short really, nor long and I doubt it's a common word (I can't be accused of being a linguist though).

Influ retruns:
1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

There's no information here about it being common.

Influence* returns 75 results, frogbeasteggs Eleanor being the first hit. This includes Influence and its plural.

King returns 100 results.

I can't lay my finger on this one yet, do you have more examples Omanes Alexandrapolites?

I don't quite remember what exactly I searched for when I first got the message. Although a couple of random searches I've just done resulted in the same message.

I searched for "bug" and "changes" in the Watchtower and then performed these searches in two other random forums (R:TW Guides and the Entrance Hall) as well as a total forum search. The error message was received each time. The words "performance" and "hello", two other random searches, behave the same as well.

I think, at a guess, the problem may be affiliated to words which appear more than a certain number of times in posts indexed by the system. Indeed the other words I searched for, which aren't quite so common, "Taiwan", "French" and "Fries", turned up a full set of results. On the other hand, a search for "Cheesecake" though, another random search, provides the error message. Considering that it isn't/shouldn't be a very frequently used word, it shouldn't really do that if the theory is correct. I remember mentioning the word in both of the three word story threads though, which could be attributed to it receiving the same classification.

Probably just rambling there, but hope it's useful

Hmm.

This just shouldn't be true. There are two independent systems, but the setting of one seems to influence the other.

Looks to be fixed now. Thanks Tosa

Another little thing I've just noticed is the way the the area which states you have private messages/new notifications behave now. When the user has a private message, as well as the classical flashing mail icon, the "Your Notifications" text turns red and starts flashing, and the background turns green. For me it's a little intrusive on the eyes, and I much preferred the old system with just the flashing mail icon.

Sword Dojo is also missing a couple of icons still. The button on the "Go to post" button in the quote box, and the throbber which appears when editing a post.

Hope this is helpful
