Just a suggestion? maybe to make the search engine area better by adding a “exact phrase” feature…
Maybe it was me, but I couldn’t figure out how to search the term “interior design” without the search engine breaking it down to hundreds of posts with the words “interior” and “design” so it was time consuming to go through all of the posts only to see none of them had anything to do with “interior design”.
Searching for ‘Design thinking’ in the core77 boards would be like searching for ‘digital music’ in a iTunes board. Get specific on what exactly you are looking for.
The difference being that the iTunes board gives me results for “digital music” rather than results for “digital” and “music”. Even if I wanted to search for “design thinking”+book I will still have 130 matches. Why would you not want this to be sorted? This is going to be more beneficial than spending your time blaming users for not being specific enough. What’s the point of having rich content if people can’t find it? Sorry for being equally frank.
There are enough boards out there that are a lot smaller than Core77 and do not have this problem. I don’t remember having this problem with the previous version of the Core77 boards.
It must be possible to implement exact phrase search, we can contact someone at the backend of Core77.
Usually we still get good results because of the limited amount of topics, but it would be great especially as the forum is growing.
I just searched for ‘deep drawing’ and guess what the results were about.
