Does a search widget search on text within posts, or just tags?

  I have been working with the oxygen theme and the search widget is finding some posts that it should not be. I can’t see what it is picking up on!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I believe I have found my answer! I did a time consuming experiment and found the search widget (at least the one with the oxygen theme) does search the full text as well as tags. The test was only done searching within the blog. I believe WordPress has its own search engine for external searches within the WordPress domain and then on a grand scale there are the web search engines.
