Erratic search behavior

[EarthDog]

I am experiencing erratic behavior in search functionality.

Examples of strange behavior:

• Try searching for "about". it does not return anything although there are tiitles with this word in the text. The same happens if you search for the test topic "Welcome".
• Try searching for "health". It exists in titles and it RETURNS result.

I cannot understand why this is happening. What is the difference between the 2 terms.

The upper behavior occurs in every user and also i have rebuilded the search index and tried the support option to clear caches e.t.c
