A comment on the search engine


Website Feedback


Currently, if I search the PRD (or messageboards) for a word such as "barding", then even if I put that word within quotation marks, there will be a ton of results that include only parts of that word (in this case, primarily "bard").

Using "-bard" in an effort to eliminate the unwanted results doesn't help, as that removes even results for "barding".

Whether this is intended or not, I hope it's possible to alter the search engine in some way that makes it more useful in cases like this.


I have also noticed that using "quotes" does nothing to filter the results. :(

We use stemming for search terms so "bard", "barding" and "barded" all return similar results. Revamping how the search works is slowly creeping up the todo list.
