Hello Rob,
I'm happy w/the relevance, but the order isn't right
What do you mean by that?  I thought you were sorting by relevance?

too many results are being returned (which is my own issue to fix).
Can you just apply a limit to the query?

Without the BOOLEAN, the results were really off, minimal results and not that accurate.
Maybe this is because boolean searches don't use the 50% threshold: ""

There is also the problem where common words, aren't returning anything, such as a search for "water". It should however, since the water keyword is very frequent throughout the site.
Weird... that would be in line with the 50% threshold... but you're using boolean, so it shouldn't apply. Maybe try rebuilding the index?

Also... boolean searches do have an operator (< or >) to increase or decrease a word's weight:
