Let's talk about the search function

Why does it fucking suck so much?

90% of my experience with the search bar goes like this:

Ori: lol, remember when Batlord talked how he stared at the sun, and now he's permanently blind? I wish I could find that hilarious gem. *types "sun" into search*

Search: NAH. U GOTTA GIMME MORE LETTERS THAN THAT IF U WANT THE GOOD STUFF, BOI.

Ori: Damn. Wait, I think Batlord also mentioned getting kicked in the cock. Let me try that. *types cock into search*

Search: NAH, U GOTTA WAIT.

Ori: How long?

Search : LIKE, TEN MORE SECONDS.

Ori: Why?

Search: CUZ THAT'S HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR ME TO GET HARD AGAIN, BOI.

Ori: Uh, okay. *waits ten seconds, and types cock in again*

Search: I KNOW U GOT MORE LETTERS THAN THAT, BOI.

Ori: Damn it! Wait, I remember him also mentioning a bunch of other things, and some of them were like five or six letters long. *types all that stuff into the search bar*

Search: OH, U THOUGHT U COULD SEARCH FOR MULTIPLE WORDS AT ONCE? NAH, I DON'T DO THAT. I CAN CHECK POSTS FOR ONE KEYWORD *OR* ANOTHER, BUT I CAN'T LOOK FOR ALL THEM KEYWORDS IN ONE POST.

Ori: Why not?!

Search: 'CAUSE I GOT STANDARDS, BOI

Ori: Whatever. How about... *types a long and specific keyword*

Search: NAH, U GOTTA WAIT.

Ori : *suicide*

Is there anything the mods can do to fix it, or are we just stuck with it?

Call advanmag

They're probably going to shut this whole mother****er down sooner or later.

Treasure will be lost.

Trying to figure out whether or not there's a thread for Can is hell.

:clap:

Yeah just filter your google searches with "site:www.musicbanter.com"

You don't need the quotes I was just trying to stop it getting parsed into a URL.

I think you can search for multiple words if*you*put*asterisks*between*them ftr
Also you can search for complete strings of words by using quote marks

Nothing we can do as mods. Could send out the Yac-signal, but I guess it would have been improved already.

Make me a mod and I'll search everything manually.
