Workshop Search Engine Is Terrible

[Mad Ashley]

It devolves into showing you completely irrelevant addons if your search is too niche, as opposed to ONLY showing you things actually relevant to your search in any way. That or if your search is multiple words it searches each word individually and gives you a mix of the results for each individual word, instead of doing any kind of relevance check on anything.

Literally feels as bad as if I were searching "video game mod" on ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Google. Valve can do better than this.

That's how 99% of searches work. Anyway, add quote marks around what you want to search, when it's multiple words, and it will search that exact thing.

if you were to search, i don't know.. "Union Pacific" for a train game, it would search search that specifically, because you put the quote's around it.
