searchThresholdValue stops search too often.

Hi,

I don't understand the use of $searchThresholdValue in lines 785-791 (file kernel/search/plugins/ezsearchengine/ezsearchengine.php):
[...]
$searchThresholdValue = $totalObjectCount;
if ( $totalObjectCount > $stopWordThresholdValue )
{
$searchThresholdValue = (int)( $totalObjectCount * ( $stopWordThresholdPercent / 100 ) );
}

// do not search words that are too frequent
if ( $searchPart['object_count'] < $searchThresholdValue )
{ [...]

Now, I understand that it gets calculated, if it's bigger than $stopWordThresholdValue. But why does it get set to $totalObjectCount as default??

Even if I set the threshold for stopwords very high, the search still stops sometimes, because of searchThresholdValue being to high.

Can someone explain this or is it a bug? (The search system has many problems.)

Thanks,
Kai
