Factorio Forums

the search bar on https://mods.factorio.com/ does not always pull up the right mod at the top.

examples:
search "Milestones" and the top result is chinese (the mod "Milestones" is in slot 3)
search "Spidertron Enhancements" and the mod "Spidertron Enhancements" is not even on screen

fix?
the search should probably put more weigh on results with distinct words instead of more instances of the same word, it should also probably put more weight behind matches in the title and in the proportion of the document spent on the searched word

I think this relate to the default order in which the results are shown. By updated first, while, the result you expect are achieved if you sort the results by relevance.
