Predictably, regular posters don't like the questions that are asked perennially and tend to ignore them, so it's really unhelpful for new users. Finding specific recommendations is difficult and the search system isn't helping enough.
Advanced search has a check box for search by titles and radio buttons for relevance and recency, but I'm finding it's difficult to pin down pertinent search results that are current. So many products discussed pre 2015-2016 are discontinued, limiting the usefulness of the comments. In the hopes it may be an improvement, I'd like to suggest:
Drop down search box - an option to change the sort order, perhaps in the form of radio buttons to select a sort order from:
Can keyword searches also be limited to yield much more specific results? e.g. if I search by the word imaging, I see results for the Klipsch Image as well as the image tag. Those aren't what I'm looking for, so either the search needs to be much more specific by default, or it should be possible to search for exact matches only. Perhaps by putting quote marks around the word?
Thanks.
