I wrote this article for Usenix's ;login magazine. It originally appeared in Volume 22, Number 1, dated February 1997.

My friend Nicole wrote that she couldn't find the phone number on the new church web site that I have been using as a Drupal learning project. The number wasn't listed on the home page and when she searched for "phone" she got no results. Hmm, sez I, must be some mistake. I do the search, same result, which is to say no result for "phone". Off I go to do a little research. Here are some of the things I've learned.

Drupal's core search module does not match on misspelling or partial word or wildcard matches.
