Is there any way to filter the search on these forums?

It would really make it easier finding what you want. If it's not possible then I strongly suggest that it should be implemented

Yes you can filter and search throughout the steam forums. On the steam client you would go to the "COMMUNITY" tab at the top of the steam UI and select "Discussions". From there you can search for specific topics where it says "Search discussions". You can also search through specific game and steam forums also the search bar would be on the top right.

You can visit the webpage here if you are searching for it on a browser.
https://steamcommunity.com/discussions

Thanks but that was not the answer I was looking for. I wanna be able to filter several words like ”xbox one controller” but the search engine returns all hits for ”xbox” and ”one” and ”controller”. That makes it hard for me to find what I am looking for, is there a better way to search?

The same way you'd do this on any other search engine: surround the search query with ".

This doesn't work on steam search

I've just tried with

"xbox one controller"

and got the following results
https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/search/?q=%22xbox+one+controller%22
This doesn't show "one" or "controller", only results with all 3 terms.

Did you used the computer or another device? I tried that on my computer yesterdat and it didn’t work for me then

[ReBoot]

On my PC both on the Steam client and a browser. Here's how it looks[1drv.ms].

Never mind, I just tried it and now it works. I don't wanna think that I did something wrong, I have searched several times on steam forums and it has never worked for me before. And yes, I used the " as I do on google almost daily

In the past it didn't work, no. Seems they silently did something.
