Yea i think the search tool used is an out of the box api that is compatible with steem. I don’t think Steemit design teams have worked on anything robust. I’ve worked on a dozen search tools and can tell you first hand rebuilding a custom sort and filter search tool is a money and budget destroyer. For now what they have a search tool in an i-frame widget that isn’t intuitive is okay but agreed a search tool with better detection and usability is needed. I’ll add that to my list though. That’s a good proposal.
