Can we please please PLEASE get search added as priority number one after V1 is released? The discourse search is frustrating (politest way I can phrase this). I’ve been searching both here and at our instance for threads and the chances of finding results are like trying to hit a clown face at a carnival - it might happen, but odds are not in your favor. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/9/d/9d8608a499f0af68537e82269a5812d9090a435b.png) For example, searching for heatmap doesn’t return this thread even though it’s last activity is only two days old: [https://meta.discourse.org/t/consolidating-activity-field/18827/83](https://meta.discourse.org/t/consolidating-activity-field/18827/83) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/5/f5bd50f8ab34f8589292e438d9317bed1a6d876a.png) Searching for coldmap or activity returns it under the “Show More”, even though most of the threads are “colder” 😉 than this thread (last replies on some of these are six days vs the two for what I was looking for it…) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/3/53bbc28e0a2b03e38a7197d6d34c3e70187db280.png) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/b/1b58696997519c219b0388178ed29ddc7035bd3d.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/should-search-prioritize-recent-topics-over-older-topics/19099)._
