Can the search function be improved?

[saaby93]

I posted a useful post once ( ok ok I know ) about a quiet guy on a bike
And mentioned it again in other thread

I tried searching for
2015 saaby93 quiet

No results found

What have I done wrong?

I've had better luck using Google, tbh

The search tool is such a powerful and therefore, complicated system, it is taking a while to index all pages / posts, but we are continually making improvements on a daily basis to improve its functionality.

I've tried several searches and remain confounded at the 'logic' it uses in the 'relevancy' of results.

It's neither date (how recent), nor search term in thread title ahead of in posts, nor threads within which the term appears most often. Just completely random.

Google replied in two ways
The first time it put a paragraph headed with of one of my posts
followed by about 6 links to subsequent ones
The first one was actually a link about a similar post - it was the second one I was looking for

The second time I tried it, it gave separate search results for a number of close posts

The first time was pretty impressive

Does it appear here: click?
