Are search results prioritizing forum posts over pages now?

I was just searching for Hunter × Hunter and the search results posted many different forum threads before suggesting anything remotely relating to the actual work pages close to the very bottom of the first page of search results. When I did the same for Futurama, the work page was the second result, right behind a forum post.

This wasn't like this yesterday. Is something going on?

I've been noticing that too. I'm not sure if there's been a change to the search algorithm for the site or something.

EDIT: It's been reported on the Bugs List. Apparently Google's API might have changed how it handles page indexing. Not sure how this could be fixed on our end.
