Why is the search engine on the wiki so bad?

[Error]

It's not really all that bad as search engines go, but it doesn't do much more than searching for a specific string of text, so you're usually going to be stuck if you don't know exactly what you are looking for. If you want to use something which is a bit more versatile, I'd suggest doing a Google search with the string "site:discoverygc/wiki/" (example) included in your search query.

Alternatively, you could try using this, which is a small Google custom search engine project I started on last year which does essentially the same thing, but with a few extra features on the side. It's what I tend to use when the forum or wiki's built in search engines don't find what I'm looking for, anyhow.
