Search bug

I just tried a search of the forums looking for info on Sky & Telescope. I searched “sky and telescope”, and “sky telescope”, but got the following error:
“The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: telescope sky.”

Hi Deane - I tried "telescope+magazine" and got some results. Would that work for you?

Yes, but I just find it odd that the particular word combination I chose results in that message.
“Sky clouds” works, for example, but just “sky” generates the same error, which seems reasonable.

Thanks for the help.
I don’t actually need the search results any more. S&T’s web site had contradictory info about renewing and no place to get a club discount, so I just called them.
