Today an update to Word Cleaner for phpBB 2 has been released. Version 1.3.0 provides a new "Stopword Cleaner" feature, which can eliminate words listed in a board's search_stopwords.txt file from the search index database. This can be helpful if that file has been corrupted in the past or if new entries are added to the file. A staggered processing feature has also been introduced to prevent timeout errors when processing large databases.
