Search behaves poorly

Why does a search for “saveSetup” only return:

and

would also be good hits, at least.

On the old forum, we replaced the search form with a Google search. If the discourse search seems to be missing useful stuff, that’s an option. Personally, I tend to search Google with

…since that’ll get results from the old forum and the wiki as well. I don’t use the Discourse search.

(No conclusion in particular – just that we’re not alone in either consideration.)
