investigating wonder search anomaly

I have a song called "I wonder if you knew that I knew".

If I search for "wonder" it isn't listed in search results.

If I search for "knew" or "you" etc., it's listed. "I wonder" "wonder if" -- nothing.

Wondering why.

I renamed a song "I wonder if you knew that I knew" and it shows up in my search.

Try checking for strange characters in that song's title, cna't think of anything else it could be.

Yeah there has to be something weird about that title or string keeping MySQL from matching the entry.

I have a similar odd search thing-
I have members named Rod Westerfield, and Deborah Westerfield.
On my main profiles page (site.com/profile), if I search for "Rod" (no quotes), I don't find Rod Westerfield among the Rods. If I search for "Westerfield", I get only Deborah Westerfield. If I search even for "Rod Westerfield" (no quotes), I get no result. I can only get to Rod's profile from following a trail of his content leading to his page.

Can you let me know the url of "Rod Westerfield" 's profile and I'll see if I can figure out why.

In my case, it appears to be an issue with enabling Full Text Search. I enabled it on another jamroom site and get the same issue. Also missing profiles with "wonder" in the title which were listing in search results before, but then not listing after enabling Full Text Search. Disabling it on the first site, brings up songs with "wonder" in the lyric and other places (which I've added as search fields).

That really doesn't make sense - "wonder" is not a MySQL stop word.

I will do some testing here and see if I can spot anything.

It doesn't appear to be specifically the word "wonder" which is the issue. I can replace it with "whither" and whither doesn't show up either. Maybe something about "I [anyword]" or similarly constructed phrases?
