NodeBB's search is mocking me

What are we sorting those results on, inverse relevance?

@Maciejasjmj Age?

I think it's cute that you think the search here actually works.

Barely relevant - I love how Google sometimes treats exact opposites as synonyms, or says "the" is the same as "one" and I can't find the book title I wrote verbatim.

@Gąska Google tip # @index :
Wrap your verbatim search term in double quotes and prefix the whole quoted phrase with a plus symbol to force Google to do an exact search for you.
+"<exact search term>" <other optional term(s)>

Nope. That got removed when Google+ became a thing.

I am pretty sure it either doesn't work any different than just quotes, worked well until it stopped some time ago, or will be fucked up in the upcoming year. Sadly, I don't remember any specific searches I had problems with, so can't test it.
