If yes, then review http://drupal.org/node/146466 . * check whether node indexing works - use cron.php, edit a node after it's been indexed, add a comment, remove a comment, etc, * search syntax - create a couple nodes and then do the four types of searchs (AND, OR, exclude, and phrase searches) and make sure the right results come back * relevancy. create two nodes where in node A one of the words appear more times than in node B. Check searching that word. * add a link from one node to another and make sure that both nodes get reindexed. If document A is linked to by document B, and document A does not refer to word X, but document B does refer to word X, when you search for word X, both documents should return results. This is in essence how linking from one node to another improves the word relevancy of the linked to document. NK
