Regarding the store search function

The search function, I guess since the site "revamp" is borderline useless. Previously, if I typed in "japanese hair" I would get a bunch of accurate results... now, it's just one bundle that has nothing to do with hair.
Is the team aware of this, or is it how it's intended to work?

Has anyone else noticed this?

    Yeah, I've been having serious search issues since the overhaul. It feels like it's trying to outguess what I want instead of just returning everything that could be relevant to the search term.

    It tries to help!  When I searched for "worship", I got all kinds of "workshop" results with "Hide Items I Own" checked.  When I unchecked that, it didn't bring up search results, but sent me to the worship poses set that I own, like it was some kind of "I'm Feeling Lucky" deal.

    Yeah, it's lots worse.  The old search did a text search of product pages, which was pretty good, because what you were looking for was probably in there somewhere if you didn't know the name.  The new search is faster, but gives crap results.

    The problem for Daz is that if someone is doing a general search, they won't find anything to buy unless they already know what name the PA/Daz gave it, which may or may (most likely) not be descriptive.
