If you're implying that some admins don't think Fandom search sucks that much, I can pretty much guarantee you're wrong. There have been many, many, many, many complaints on these forums about how much Fandom search sucks. Yours is just the latest.

If you send a message to staff via the link I provided above and get no response, then you can blame me for directing you wrong, but if you do get a response and it goes something like, "we are aware of the community's concern about the search feature, but we don't have any updates about improvements at this time" then it is going more along the lines I expect.

Software development information and priorities from Fandom staff have generally been as bad as Fandom search. They general make improvements if it is clearly hitting their bottom line aka making them less money. Until you can show them a bad search is clearly costing them money, they won't do anything about it. Also, as far as I can tell, they'll never give a roadmap for the software improvements they are planning to admins because... the most we can do to harm them is quit... and many have. They apparently think enough of us are staying.
