This "Developer Forums" site is impossible to search.

I noticed a search for one word produces (for instance) 100 results and a search for two words produces a 1000 results. It seems to be looking for one OR the other and no option to search for both both. Adding quotes around both also does nothing. This is basic search tooling, and it seems to be broken.

I found it to be completely impossible to search for, for instance: "ARKit" and "Safari"

Perhaps is there a better way to search? Any suggestions? Maybe a Google search for these terms also including "Developer forums" and "Apple"??

Google: site: developer.apple.com/forums Search Terms

Does that still work, or have Google dumbed that down?

I agree that DevForums search could be… frankly… much better.

Without going into details, it’s actually a good time for you to raise this issue. I’d appreciate your filing a bug against DevForums with some examples of what you were searching for, what terms you used, what DevForums returned, and what you got back from the Google search that endecotp suggested.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Share and Enjoy

You can do it with tags, unfortunately not keywords.

But you can have keyword and tags…

Far from perfect search engine.
