Wasn’t sure where else to mention this – the search feature on the forum is pretty bad. I tried finding a post from Claire Zabel by searching “Claire Zabel”. I couldn’t find it because her username is actually “ClaireZabel”
Re fuzzy search… I couldn’t find this post. Search shouldn’t be converting ‘EA’ into a separate search for the word ‘effective’ absent ‘altruism’. Also it feels like it isn’t weighting the title heavily enough relative to post body, since the correct title isn’t far from my search query.

+1 I’ve found this problem a lot. Also the fuzzy search on the search bar is sometimes too fuzzy (e.g. the opposite problem)
