> [@RGJ](#): > > “advertising plugin” There I fixed it … at #1 now. I discussed this issue with @tgxworld and @JammyDodger in the past, we baked ourselves a very bad cake here. The simple workaround is Going through every single #Customization > Plugin topic and appending “Plugin” at the end. Discourse Advertising Plugin Discourse Chat Plugin and so on… Title matches “win” so for example - `Advertising` in category #Customization > Plugin will lose to `Discourse Advertising Plugin question` in category random. We could “bloat” our title index by appending category and tags - I think this is what google do anyway. So instead of indexing: first priority “Discourse Advertising” second “plugin” third priority “content” We could index first priority “Discourse Advertising - plugin tag1 tag2” Of course a workaround is searching for: `#customization:plugin chat`… ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/b/2/3/b23b630da173393a508d22d8dea385dcbd98cc88.png) vs ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/7/2/0/72066c001607c7482de657121f53919f21858ceb.png) * * * FWIW … might as well go and fix up all the official plugins now, will only take me a few mins. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/e/7/3/e73e0ba6906999241fefeeb4c513817b96dd0ae5.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-needs-better-search/305583)._
