How to improve the search results?

edited May 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

The number one complaint, by far, of my users is that the search functionality of the forum is awful. I tried the vanoogle plugin, but it doesn't render properly. What else can be done? This has a serious impact because users create new threads when they are unable to find old ones. Also, they sometimes give up on posting because it is too much work to go to Google and do a site: search.

    You can follow the progress here. There are some prereqs though, such as: linux host, open a port, shell access, daemon running. Make sure that your host can allocate for this. I'll get it working in windows later.
