  • Search system is really poor
  •  

    It is terribly hard to find key expression related topics of discuissions, especially if they consist of more than 1 word. I don't know how the search mechanism works in this forum, but it is not too ergonomic, nor intuitive.

    I don't know if this is a problem to anyone else than me, but i think a good search system could gradually limit the problem with people opening x000 new threads for the same topic, because they can't see, that it's already there.

    inb4 anyone saying "idiots can't use the search function right". The search should be idiot proof. It is called ergonomics, and its a science.

    Very true. It could be encouraged at the Community Guidelines. Also, added a tag, just to start being a useful forum member.

    @TheGrandmaster
    This is good stuff, it could be suggested too as an alternative to the forum search at the CG.

    @Kaede-chan
    Everything should be google powered.

    It's a hand-baked English scone with a layer of whipped cream and strawberry jam in the middle if you must know.
    But anyhow..

    --ends off-topic chatter--

    Google has its annoying way of also having a particular way of searching - missing out some stuff. The custom google searches never really please me - they also love putting their stamp on it.

    @Luna:
    I ended the off-topic-ness of this thread.. gonna have to start removing stuff if it gets worse..
    The scones are cooked separately and left to cool - nothing it hot/warm upon eating.
