It's helpful to be able to search the previously asked questions so that I do not ask previously asked questions, but the search is not quite working for me.

I've tried in Opera, FireFox, and Chromium on Ubuntu 21.10, but with no luck.

Thank you in advance.

Hi there Steve!

Thanks for this great feedback! I have just implemented the questions search functionality, it works as follows:

  • Open the search bar
  • Type question and press enter
  • Then search for a specific question title

Let me know how it goes!

I think that Tony mentioned that he was planning to rework the search functionality, so your feedback is very valuable!

Thanks for taking the time to record those videos Steven! This is super helpful and helps us make the site better.

Really appreciate your time and great feedback! 🙌

I will look into adding the extra instructions to the spotlight search so that it's clearer for the rest of the users.
