On the Defiance sub-forum:
The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: cover firing through
The "common words" blocking sucks. Can it be turned off, at least for "common words" that in gamer lexicon are technical and/or specific?

The common words are not set manually -- it's based on a percentage. It would appear that "cover", "firing", and "through" are each featured in more than 5% of posts.
does it count signatures? cause that's one reason to disband them 
I did fix that....

I never heard anyone complain about any signature on this forum...
I just think there's potential for abuse, that's all
5% + seems a little harsh for a relatively small forum.
So far I haven't been able to find any specific post -at all- using the search function, due to this rule. Can the filtering be turned off?
5% may seem a bit harsh, but according to the forum index there are 13811 posts total (before I hit submit on this one).
That would be >690 posts with each term.
Unless it counts the 5% on a per-forum basis, in which case yeah it is harsh. 1157 in Defiance, so ~58 posts to get a word blocked.
