Search feature is inefficient

Hello

I try to search the forum before posting, unfortunately the search function in this forum is not context sensitive.

For ex: I search for impedance.

You can try it out - not one of the topic listed is based on the word impedance or has any relation to it.

But it is a regular expression search which is producing results based on the match imp* hence results displayed are for keywords important, imperial, import etc

Just a thought for preventing repeated questions being asked.

Use the ā€˜search with Googleā€™ option when you search for stuff that doesnā€™t work is the only workaround we foundā€¦

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=site:forum.kicad.info+impedance&gws_rd=cr&ei=n9evV8-mLInt0ASZ_r7IBA

Just use quotes around the search term. ā€œimpedanceā€ works perfectly.
