Search resources by keyword

[OVOgenez]

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but there’s a small issue with searching for resources by keyword.

For example, if I want to find an icon related to night (keyword "Night"), it brings up a lot of resources for the Night Elf race (since they have the tag "Night Elf").
Or, if I want to find a model related to blood (keyword "Blood"), it shows a lot of resources for the Blood Elf race (since they have the tag "Blood Elf").

It seems that the search also includes tags. It would be great to separate the logic for keywords and tags.

I'm not sure the search actually includes tags but rather words in the description of those resources.

You can check it. Search includes both keywords and tags.

Confirmed. Sucks, sheesh.

You can exclude tags though. By clicking the red X next to a tag. And this also seemed to work:

But then it will hide resources that are both related to the night and to the Night Elf race.

@Ralle Search really needs a fix, this is really bad.

Searching the icon section for "song" without searching description:

With searching description:

Look at the first result. That's in the name. I shouldn't have to search the description to get that as a result.

Could it be that capital case and lowercase are treated as different letters? I think it might be that being the reason of the exclusion. I agree that it can use refinement in regards to searching irrespective of the case.

EDIT: Nope, not case, search is definitely weird.

That’s exactly it.

The search system we’re using (Elastic) indexes words. But “BTNHorseKebab” isn’t a word people would search for. So I split them by capitalisation in the search index so it turns into BTN Horse Kebab, each word being searchable. But it simply cannot convert “Songof” to “Song of” and index the words separately.

Something else it does, I think it’s called stemming. It converts words to a normalised form “horses” becomes “horse” and so on.
