site news search not working as expected

… searching on the news side … only searches news articles …

https://www.macrumors.com/search/?s=IBM finds nothing

https://forums.macrumors.com/search/1030712/?q=IBM&o=date&c[title_only]=1&c[user][0]=3 finds 73 topics, the first of which begins with a link to https://www.macrumors.com/2015/08/05/ibm-mac-deployment-service/ about IBM, so I guess that news search is not working as expected.

The search functionality we have on the news side ignores small words, so that's why it's not pulling up anything for "IBM." I agree it could be better.

Thanks @WildCowboy. There should be an on-screen explanation of the ignorance. Ideally before, not after, the search is attempted.
