I was trying to convert VB.NET Is Nothing to C#.NET so I tried searching before I posted. I found it strange that there were no search results for 'nothing' (Search still won't find my other thread after my post)

So that got me wondering...I did a search for 'anything' and 'something' with no results. It's hard for me to believe there aren't any posts with those words.

Is there some problem with the search engine or is that typical behavior?

These may be stopwords. I'll have to see if I can find the list of stopwords that is being used.

(Stopwords are words that are not indexed because the occur too often. this includes words like about, among, all, and, are, as, at, be, been, both, but, by, etc.)

Brad!

I just tried it and you're right. Very strange!
