 * This plugin doesn’t seem to like certain keywords, doesn’t search titles and 
   produces page results where the search term doesn’t exist. For instance I did
   a search for “cafe”. There is only one page in the site using this keyword. Not
   only does the plugin not find this page but instead produces a whole bunch of
   other pages where “cafe” doesn’t appear on the page in any shape or form. If 
   I widen the search term to “cafe with extensive” it then finds the page. It therefore
   can’t be a problem with my custom field and other four letter search terms are
   found so it’s not a problem with the string length either.
 * I’ve wasted hours editing my search results page to remove unwanted results but
   can’t solve the problem with titles or certain keywords that the plugin just 
   simply doesn’t like.
 * A big thumbs down from me.

 * Had ver 6.8 working perfectly – but got caught by allowing auto update from the
   plugins admin page; result: highlighting no longer worked.
 * Deleted and back to ver 6.8 – and damn me days, now the highlighting no longer
   works in Firefox; works erratically in Chrome.
 * A fast accurate search function is essential. This was the best search plugin–
   but it seems to have ongoing highlighting defects.
 * Anyone have similar issues?
 * TIA
