Search Field Needs Comprehensive Listing, Or At Least Search Operators

Core Web App

When I perform a search for an article, let's say an article on the software 'Sage', the search fills up with all sorts of unrelated details.

Articles with titles that include 'passage', 'message', 'usage', and many other words that contain 'Sage' fill up the maximum of 25 results for each field that will display, resulting in the document I'm looking for not showing in the search.

If there was a way to specify that you're looking for SPECIFICALLY the word 'Sage', or increase the amount of search results displayed, that would make the search function SIGNIFICANTLY more usable.

As it is, it frequently results in important troubleshooting documents being lost/overlooked.

    Boolean operators would be nice as well. If I am looking for a document called "message hasn't been received" and search for "message received," it pulls up nothing. A way to combine terms that are not literal would be useful, e.g., "message" + AND + "received" or some variation thereof.

    Agreed, the search feature used to be able to result in "too much" information which honestly I'd rather have than nothing. Would prefer the old search.
