Factorio Forums

Just tried to search for popular aesthetics mod, Dectorio, using the search term "dectorio": https://mods.factorio.com/query/dectorio

The actual mod actually called Dectorio is buried 2/3rds of the way down the second page.

Bit too fuzzy a search?

Same thing happens when you search for my mod "Portals". It has that name and title, yet it's not the first result: https://mods.factorio.com/query/Portals

I suspect that this happens because the search shows all matches in order of latest updated instead of first showing mods where the title or name completely matches.

The in-game browser (under Install Mods) clearly uses an exact title search instead, since searching for Dectorio gives you just one result, Dectorio.

When I search for my own name, I get a ton of links to "Sea Block" stuff. Deadlock, seablock.

Bump, still happens, still sucks. If the name/title matches exactly the search, that match should be the first one shown. Perhaps even the only one. Anything else does not make sense.

I changed the search ordering a bit, so it should focus more on matches and less on ordering by download count/last updated. Is it better now?

Much better, thank you.

Hadn't noticed this change, it's much better now, thanks.
