Title: Search Engine Revamp Desparately Needed
Post by: medicineman684 on February 15, 2013, 11:22 pm
 :-\ I am constantly frustrated with the poor quality of the search engine on here. For example, I search for "valium" and in the search results are forged auto insurance cards, Girls Gone Wild videos, a book on hold em poker and other completely unrelated items. Scattered here and there are some actual valium listings but I have to go through page after page on this slow-ass TOR network to see them.

I wish they'd get serious about putting in a new search engine as it would undoubtedly ease traffic quite a bit if people could find what they were looking for without going through multiple pages. 

Suggestions:
-the ability to search within categories
-search results ordered by relevance or price
-accurate substring search
-search only within bookmarked vendors

there's plenty more that could be done but I would settle for just the ability to search within categories. This is not a hard project and given all the moneybeing made on this site I don't understand why simple improvements like this are not implemented.
