Does the Forum Search on this site seem to be broken for anyone else?

Hi, I'm struggling to find answers in the forum recently. 

It seems like no matter WHAT my search term is, this screenshot is always the first results (sorted by Relevancy).

I'm trying to find documentation on the Custom Page Classes most recently. But any search I do that has the word page anywhere in it, brings up these exact results for me, even when I use a bunch of different terms in addition to "page".

Am I just going crazy or is anyone else noticing these posts always at the top of your searches?

Something definitely up. I noticed when searching blog posts for "custom page types", that it returns over 250 results. Going through the first couple pages of results, I don't see any that talk about custom page types.

Try doing a search just for "hello"...it returns a ton of blog posts that don't include the word "hello" anywhere in their content.

@rastographics I have also experience that the main site's search doesn't work very well either ? Maybe we should open an issue?

The forum search supports specific syntaxes depending on how you want multiple words searched, and there are expandable search options too. It explains some of the options after you do a search.

That's an unrelated search feature. The forum is powered by IP.Board and the blog posts are powered by ProcessWire.

I actually always use Google to search the forum ? just add "site:processwire.com/talk"

Example:

Quote

your search site:processwire.com/talk

Not the only thing broken, I think. All recent topics seem to be showing ‘0 views’ even though there are replies.

Me too, except when searching private pro module topics...

Thank you! the results are night and day better this way.
This extension works great for doing site-specific searches through google:

For the sake of those newer to PW community, I hope there's a way in the near future the built-in search on the site can get results more similar to google's
