Discord’s search is a joke. You search for specific words and you get a load of results that are… just not that word, at all
Comment on Discord began blocking servers with information prohibited in the Russian Federation
flames5123@lemmy.world 7 months agoDo you not know how to properly search in discord? Sure forums are better but a message in discord isn’t “gone forever” if you’re searching. It’s a pretty fast to search too, which is an insanely impressive feat due to the sheer amount of messages.

Sure, but you also have to know to search for it.

The search bar is at the top of the screen. Click inside of it and it shows you what you can search. It’s dirt easy.

Search is great for discovering known unknowns. Not so much for unknown unknowns.

Neither are normal websites or search engines. You don’t get to barbie.com/how-to-make-her-a-boat by searching “why is my Barbie orange like the Cheeto man?”

Discord search is only really useful if you already know what the message says

Yeah but the searching also kind of sucks for detailed information.
If only we had these things called search engines that indexed websites that had information on them.
