Considering document length in search introduced too much variance in our search results such that it makes certain searches better but at the same time made certain searches worst. Instead, we want to have a more determistic way of ranking search so that it is easier to reason about why a post is rank higher in search than another. The long term plan to tackle repeated terms is to restrict the number of positions for a given lexeme in our search index.
