Our current search system, as you may know, is lacking and not that performant. We've been working on updating the search backend to use some more tried and tested technology - namely Elasticsearch. You can see it's current state at here. You can do basic queries, get only posts by a user with @user, and get only posts in a tag with #tag. Let me know any issues you find or ways that you wish you were able to search here.
Awesome! But I the tag search isn't working for me: https://hubski.com/testsearch?query=%23writing
Underwhelmed; I tried half a dozen or so searches. Not impressed. For example, a search for "mead" returns one result. A search for "steriogram" finds none (there should be at least one video by them I've shared). Doesn't appear capable of searching for a literal phrase - "circus of heaven" yields heaps of posts containing the word "of", it appears. Searching for the phrase without the quotes does not appear to prefer them in combination; lots of circus posts but not the one I was thinking of, while Google has the one I wanted first.
There was a uri-encoding issue that seemed to mess up a lot of the results, so now we at least return more than one result for queries such as "mead". I'll work on adding literal searching and perhaps removing common articles next.
Updated our model, I think you're now fully indexed 👍
