Is it just me or does the search function now only cover words that were in the original post? Since my watchlist disappeared I'm currently trying to find and manually bookmark some things that were lost, but unlike the old search it now seems like nothing in the comments is indexed? Mods, is this a "feature" or a bug?

    Probably a bug, I haven’t tried it yet. This update is weird for me seeing as I only use mobile. Will take some time to get used to.

    I’m having a hard time finding threads I’ve posted on and want to track.

    Hi Amanda! The search functionality searches the discussion title, discussion content, and all of the comments but the comments are weighted as heavily as the title.

    Let me know if you need help looking for something!

    Hi LaraLouM! Have you looked through the discussion list on your profile? It lists all of the discussions you have created, and every discussion you have commented on!

    Is this why every time I search for something the first 5-6 results are from 2015/2016? Not very helpful...

    Wait what? How could that not be helpful? This site is all about being helpful, helping people validate there super craptastic ideas! They wouldn't dare have a non-helpful feature as part of their brand spanking new forums!

    Searching brings up posts from many years ago, and probably has to be filtered, but it's still not the best. Everything is jumbled .
