Please make the forum search support underscored words

Post by Oktokolo »

You literally have an API full of words containing underscores. So being able to search for them in the forums would be nice.
As it is now, searching for "can_insert" is useless, because the forum search searches for "can" and "insert" - wich are both common words while the underscored combination should be rather uncommon.

Sadly the forum search function is less than helpful... I can remember years back trying to figure out the notification 'there are no trains'... try searching it is good for a laugh because the search will filter out all the common terms leaving... nothing...
The only solution is to use your preferred search engine and direct it to the forums e.g. site:www.forums.factorio.com
My own personal Factorio super-power - running out of power.

That issue existed for less than a week after the index got corrupted and had been recreated with restricted settings.
