Hello Rob,

What I meant is that, something that has the search criteria in the title,
doesn't have more weight than something that does not, and therefor
is possibly showing up lower then another item, when I believe its
more relevant and should be displayed higher.

I'll try to rebuild the index. In order to do so, do I just run the command 
that I did to build the
original index, or is there a special syntax/command to do so?

Cool. I'll look into that.

Thank,

- Ben
