Searching for "A & W" does not work very well #168

Closed magnusandy closed 9 years ago

magnusandy commented 9 years ago

Because of how the database search engine is set up, the letter A is being ignored by the search because it is a common word, along with that, "W" is an alias for "West" (for addresses like 2nd street W = 2nd street West). so the search results are too broad to be acceptable

Seems to be fixed with e09b234.

Searching "A & W" now gets A & W results and very little else. This is because stop words have been removed. This works well since there isn't really much for stop words in our location names and street addresses.
