An absolute stunner! I've installed many of AndyB's XF2 Addons so I knew it would work, but OMG! Not only three-letter words, but we've had some ONE-letter search terms turn up exactly relevant results. THIS is exactly what a search engine should be, and it was INSTANT. No wasting time crawling the database. It just worked, straight out of the box. Love love love it! Also, working with AndyB is energizing and inspiring!
With this addon your users will easily get a lot more results for a lot more searches. Make them aware of it and you'll get a less questions about why such-and-such doesn't show up when they search, even though they know it's on your site.
