This still appears to be a problem as of 3.2.0b4-20021013. Just
to make sure we are talking about the same thing, if a site
contains something like

 This time period created much confusion and dissension among ...

a query for "confusion and dissension" will result in no matches.

A query for "and dissension among" matches 'dissension among'.

A query for "much confusion and" matches 'much confusion'.

If it is meaningful, removing 'and' from the bad_word file after
indexing causes all of the above queries to fail. Removing 'and'
and then reindexing causes all of the above queries to succeed.
By succeed, I mean both that matches are found and the full
query, including 'and' is highlighted in the excerpts.
