Searching is significantly worse with the new website beta

I love the new website beta, but whatever happened to the search feature needs to be undone. I'm referring specifically to the Minecraft Mods section (others may be the same, but I don't use them.)

Before, I could type something like "apple" and get a bunch of mods related to apples. Usually they'd contain the word apple in the name or description, and that worked fine.

Now if I type "apple," I get 2 results related to apples, and 198 that are completely unrelated. And yes, I'm being sure to search by "relevancy."

    I agree completely with these comments.
    Searching for single words on the new curseforge website will give you maybe half a page worth of mods that you were looking for and the rest contain SOME of the letters of the word you searched.
    Example: Searching the word "Soul", making sure to filter by your preferred mod loader and minecraft version, gives you half a page of mods containing the word "soul", all the rest of the mods after that have words that are spelled similarly to "soul" like words that contain "ou". Whatever new system they have for searching by "relevancy" does not work.
    This problem literally did not exist on the legacy curseforge website. You didn't have as much control over filters back then, but I find myself having to switch to the legacy website just to find mods that the new one WILL NOT show me.

    hello Toad, I have the same problem if I search mods with "roof" for Minecraft 1.15.2. It fucking finds only three mods and searches completely different mods.

    Also, many versions are missing in terms of mods with alpha releases.

    For example, I can't find the 1.14.4 version of Biomes O' Plenty. Very frustrating.

    VERY VERY VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

    FUCK YOU ALL! CURSEFORGE BETA SUCKS LIKE THE GOOGLE CEO!

    same when I search mods for 1.11.2 with "immersive" it finds a few mods and then doesn't find anything. FUCK CURSEFORGE (beta, I'm more akin to the old one)
