Why doesn't the search bar always work for searching posts?

If you don't know what mean, I mean when some things are searched up, some are not there. Sometimes I search something up and say"oh, no one has made that before. maybe I should make that kind of post."But then, BOOOOOM you get 1 more chance. copying someone else's post you didn't know was made. Why aren't there all posts related? That is my most concerned question. And then all of a sudden, you get banned by doing this like 10 times even though you never knew it was already made.

The way the search bar works is it looks for posts with any of the words in it, instead of looking for posts with all words in it. Use Google Advanced Search using only the domain sololearn.com to get more accurate results.

Searching that way goes off of what you enter matching it to tags. I believe it also matches to titles eventually as well. Imagine searching for something, and the creator has totally unrelated tags. I don’t really understand why it doesn’t work so well, but for the most part you can find what you need.

I kind of understand the first half of what you are saying Jax . but the other half of it is the part I don't understand.

I find I get more accurate search using a browser limiting to the sololearn.com domain. https://www.google.com/advanced_search
