User blog comment:Dopp/Updates to How We Search/@comment-160529-20120428173826

I want to just lay it straight. . . this. . . DOESNT WORK

this "new system" doesnt work, plus it feels like backstepping. . . I am sure at one point the wikis operated on a normal search system without taking you directly too pages. . . WHY GO BACKWARDS!

there was already issues with the normal search function on wikia, but you basically turned off the feature that allowed us to circumvent those issues. . . there is no logic here! there is no rational thought to this change!

it doesnt make the wiki more accessible, as you cant actually find any pages now. . . fancy that the update made the search function COMPLETELY USELSSS

you have turned every wiki into a paperweight, but since this is the internet and wikis are non-material objects not subject to the laws of a physical reality. . . even that function is uselss

"we know that changes to how you navigate a wiki can be disorienting at first"

HOW ABOUT FOR NEW USERS WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN ON A WIKI BEFORE, hypothetical situation someone types in "luke skywalker" on wookieepedia

THEY WANT TO BE TAKEN TO LUKE SKYWALKER, you are assuming that every new user doesnt want to be taken to the page THAT THEY TYPE IN

We are not going to give this change a chance, because it is pointless. It assumes that every user is a drooling retard incapable of understanding what they want! It also invalidates redirects ENTIRELY!!!!!!!!

THIS CHANGE IS JUST PLAIN INSULTING TO USERS! instead, they get a bunch of search results. . . they arent going to know what to click. . . . they dont know how wikis operate, they have no idea how to find luke skywalker in a manner any other than using the search engine WHICH NOW DOESNT WORK
