Feedback website's search system is functionally useless

Not Enough Votes

Any time I try to search for an issue or topic the same four or five issues show up at the top because they contain a bulk paste of some log with every keyword under the sun. If the search was limited to title content, like the search that happens when one types out a title for feedback or bug reporting, this would not be a problem.

Screenshot below illustrates what I'm talking about: search term is "custom turret" and first two results are years-old single-vote issues about completely unrelated topics.

I'm a bit frustrated that feedback only shows popular suggestions by default, putting all new feedback at a disadvantage. How do you get any votes when nobody can see you to begin with, and does a post with 1000 votes really NEED to be at the top to get 1001?

Probably not related to what you're talking about, though..

Not gonna lie your right. Keen should give the newest feedback a chance, but instead it takes 6 years for anything to be considered or even seen.

Keen ought to consider the most recent comments, but it takes six years for anything to be taken into account or even noticed.
