Search Engine Improvements

[Death]

Improvements have been made to our search engine, which will now search both titles, descriptions, and tags to provide relative results based on the provided keywords. We also thought it would make more sense to display only files as default. This can be changed per user via the advanced search button or by clicking enter with your keywords.

We've also filtered out comments, reviews, and support posts from the results to cut back on the pollution many users have complained about. This, of course, can be changed as mentioned above. If your searches are still not relevant enough, please let us know to continue improving our algorithm!

Maybe there is a better way to do this kind of search that I'm not aware about.

I would suggest to have a specific search category where it only searches on Plugin/Asset titles and description.
The closest thing I can find is "Files" but I still get a lot of non relevant hits coming from the "Discussions" tab.

Yep, that's pretty good now. I can do a plugin search and it actually finds the plugin I'm looking for instead of a load of comments on diferent plugins.

Good job, very usable, thank you for doing it.

Wrap your keyword in quotes "like this" to search for titles only.
