Improve search filter on Devforum

I’ll come straight to the point. I posted this.

It was related to themes. So lets search for themes in search bar. (ignore my topic, assume this is being done before creating one)

Let’s try to refine it more.

Ok we assume that there’s no topic created on this bug. So we proceed to create a bug report, only to find it get locked finally, because another topic already exists on it.

This shows how inaccurate the search filter is, we aren’t able to find what we need, and end up creating a duplicate topic.

The ‘Search before posting’ is an invalid statement, when there is no proper search filter. If this issue is dealt with, it would be easier to find duplicates.

My initial query would have been “dark mode bug”.

If you search for that, the post pops up first, and your post second:
https://devforum.roblox.com/search?q=dark%20mode%20bug%20%23forum-feedback:forum-bugs

I don’t think there’s an issue with query results, it just requires some skills/practice in terms of knowing what makes for a good search query.
