My Eyes! The search does nothing!

Nothing new, everybody already knows that the search is just a bad RNG, but here is another demonstration.
What happens when I search for "how can this be so wrong"? If you guessed it shows the mega-thread with these exact words in the title, YMBNH.

It's like raaaaaaaiiiiin....

It's easy to see how the search could miss such a small thread with practically no activity.

It's almost like we've got the relevance ordering exactly backwards.

Both sorting by relevance in "descending order" and "ascending order" return the same post as first result.
You might be on to something.

I feel like the
any/alloption isn't doing anything because when you change it, it's returning the same number of results.https://community.nodebb.org/search?term=how%20to%20install&in=titles&matchWords=any&sortBy=relevance&sortDirection=desc&showAs=postshttps://community.nodebb.org/search?term=how%20to%20install&in=titles&matchWords=all&sortBy=relevance&sortDirection=desc&showAs=postsGive different results.

Thought it might've been a stopword filter thing so that both were just searching for "install", but no.https://what.thedailywtf.com/search?term=install%20coffee&in=titles&matchWords=any&sortBy=relevance&sortDirection=desc&showAs=posts
https://what.thedailywtf.com/search?term=install%20coffee&in=titles&matchWords=all&sortBy=relevance&sortDirection=desc&showAs=postsBoth come back with no results; and since there are posts that have "install" in the title and also posts with "coffee" in the title, but aren't any with both (based on the matches that came back for "coffee" at least), it looks like the match is always for all words.
