Some of the work that has been done in 3.2 handles "natural language"
queries a bit better. Previously every word would be considered in
the query, which means you'd search for "who" or "what," etc. Now
words are ranked against word frequency which means (in theory) that
more common words would have less effect. So it would give higher
ranking to the infrequent words in your query, one of the first
effects of advanced query parsing.
