The search is still too fuzzy

Post by Bilka »

Take this for example: https://mods.factorio.com/query/map%20settings

This returns the change map settings mod, which is logical. But it also gives us the helicopter mod which has literally no mention of map settings in its title, name, or description. What is up with that?

Here are some more search queries that give the same weird results: https://mods.factorio.com/query/new%20game%20plus https://mods.factorio.com/query/signpost (last result doesnt belong)
I'm an admin over at https://wiki.factorio.com. Feel free to contact me if there's anything wrong (or right) with it.

Not true. It has "map" in several places, and "settings" in the description. :mrgreen:

Honestly "search in description" should probably be an optional checkbox. At least for the long description. Also support for searching in quotes ("this exact name") would help.

The second link...i have no clue. But here's another one:
