Testing using this page

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Extending_Phooey

by searching for words which I can see are on the page I get

   Not found      Found
   ---------      -----
   mdo            Phooey
   map            wire
   way            play
   let            persistence

So three character words don't get indexed but four character words do.

I mentioned in the previous thread that some longer words weren't
getting indexed. It looks like this has been fixed. All the long words
I just tried worked properly. And, better than Google, the words get
indexed as soon as they are changed. I tried searches for words added
this afternoon and they returned up-to-date results. Excellent! Whoever
it was thank you for fixing the search.
