Search on this forum is so frustrating

When I hit an issue or bug with Domoticz, I always want to find the solution myself, before opening a new topic. However, the search is so dramatically bad it usually drives me mad and I can't find what I'm looking for.

For example. I wanted to list all topics about somfy RTS, or all topics where the RFY or RFY-2 command is used. But I can't. RTS and RFY are too short and RFY-2 contains - and is als ignored. These are just example, in general, a LOT of searches contain very important 3 letter keywords that are just ignored.

I'm always scared to hit into domoticz issues because I know the information is probably around but impossible to find. I'm not trying to be mean, just curious if there are any plans to update this?

Agreed. Usually a good workaround (for me at least) is to use google to search the forum... :)
