 I tried to perform a search based on some text within
 [http://www.webfoundation.org/2010/03/web-foundation-tim-steve-featured-
 on-cnn-segment/ this article] on my site, specifically “Jason Sanchez”,
 but got no results.

 Furthermore, when I [http://www.webfoundation.org/?s=cnn search for "CNN"]
 (for example), only two entries come back:

 * [http://www.webfoundation.org/2010/01/importance-of-web-in-haiti-
 earthquake-relief/ The Importance of the Web to Help Disaster Relief in
 Haiti]
 * [http://www.webfoundation.org/about/boards/switzerland/iqbal-z-quadir/
 Iqbal Z. Quadir]

 …but not [http://www.webfoundation.org/2010/03/web-foundation-tim-steve-
 featured-on-cnn-segment/ this one], even though it should.

 Other searches had similar problems (e.g., searching for "video", etc.).
 !WordPress' built-in search seems to have some serious flaws in its search
 algorithm. I'm hoping you can resolve this in an upcoming release.
