don't know if it is me being stupid but does Evawiki have a search button? I have never seen one anywhere. It would be really useful because many of the pages are orphaned and are not linked to anything.

putting "site:wiki.evageeks.org SEARCH TERMS" into Google is also really handy.

I've noticed that whenever I search for a string of keywords (ex. Yui inside Unit-01 reason), the search function will sometimes tend to focus on the thread that has more of these words in it, instead of giving us the rest of the threads that may have some of the same words, but be about a different topic. Since one of the main things of this forum is that we post into already existing threads, it would be useful if we were able to see more than just one thread when using the search function. It seems as if you really can't get anything unless you know the exact wording of whatever thread you were looking for that just happened to be about the same thing.

So are you suggesting that the search option should operate on a tag system on the separate words, rather than a system that searches on the words stringed together?

No, I think that may be what it is trying to do now. What I'm saying is that I would like a function that allows the search engine to differentiate between thread title and post contents, depending on the nature of your search.
