Re: FAQs on LJ we should have on DW, and other issues

[msilverstar]

FAQ search is soooo bad right now, and when I hit the no-matches condition, which I do a lot, it's even worse.

try to search for : user name tag - which is in faq 87 -- I get nothing.

Turns out that this search does an exact string match, doesn't break up the words and try to match all of them. Making people guess the strings is pretty much the worst thing you can do to search, I'd almost rather not see a search at all.

Is that worth making into a suggestion, then, at http://www.dreamwidth.org/site/suggest ? To match words individually rather than exact string match?
