Can't search for word "available"

Why is the forum search stripping the word "available" from my searches? I'm trying to find "available" developers in the forums. The search claims the word is too common, but that doesn't seem like a very common word to me, and being able to search for it would be very useful.

Why is this thread in the iPhone Development section?

Because there's no section that I can find for posts about forum problems and this is the most read. Feel free to move it where appropriate. I apologize if I should have posted this somewhere else.

Head over to the Jobs forum and start reading.

That's what I was already doing, wasn't quite finding the info I needed without the search.

If you have work and need developers, then post in the Jobs section and let them contact you.

That's not what I needed, but obviously they aren't going to remove the restriction on searching the word "available" for whatever reason, so I'll deal.

i would theorise that Rhade suggested reading the jobs section because that is where the word "available" is abused.

Think about it pretty much every post in there could use that word:
"developer AVAILABLE for work"
"job AVAILABLE for pro developer"
etc etc

I recommended the Jobs forum because he said he wanted a developer. If it can't be found on the first page or two without the aid of a search, then chances are pretty good that the information is out of date.

I don't have any control over the search terms anyway.
