@Kineta and @yhunata Does it still work in the same way? Back then, I was able to track episode threads with a partial name like "Gundam ZZ" or "Zeta Gundam" but now only the second one gives appropriate results. The researches I used the most aren't giving any ep discussion: "Gundam" or "Gundam discussion".


It seems to be fairly accurate, but that may be because I'm doing really simple searches.

P.S. try setting search location to "Series Discussion"

@yhunata I did. That's the results I'm talking about. But to be fair, I didn't need to do that either before.

edit @Kineta Rhank you.

The search used to be exact. Now it's fuzzy. I listed this in my earlier post as one of our problems:

1a/2a give variable results with the fuzzy search

Ideally, we should be able to do both fuzzy and exact search on all site searches (database as well). We can't yet, but it is in the pipeline for the future. There a lot of other development projects that are currently of higher priority, so I cannot estimate when.

Also, were results always limited to a single page?
Yes.

Any chance that could be changed?
