Is the search function useless?
I tried it in the official devRant app because I consider adding it to JoyRant.
But it never finds anything relevant for me.
Even if I give it an exact substring of a comment, it doesn’t find it.
It also doesn’t find users (which would be useful)

Does it only work for the text in a rant?

Do you find it useful?

    I don't think it considers comments at all, just rants.

    Even the explanation says "Find rants by keywords". Not "find comments".

    @electrineer well, it could mean "find rants with comments containing keywords", which would be what one expects and also more useful.

    Not very useful imo as it’s easier/better to search via google. Maybe you could add a way to use a url to open a specific rant?

    @neriald I can open a rant via url, if it contains the rant id.

    @Lensflare I think all rant links go devrant.com/rants/id/ but in the end it’s up to you of course.

    As a casual joyrant enjoyer I’m not really missing the search functionality. I guess I used it 2-3 times in total and iirc only once I was able to find what I was looking for.

    Never used it. If I need to search here, I use google with site:devrant.com
