 Finally the frustration of not being able to add some pages is over after more then a year, finally. 
 
Finally i won't have to type in the name of a page 6 times before it finally pops up. 
 
Finally i can scrap that of my 5 page long list of annoyances about Giant Bomb.
 
Right now it is case sensitive something they'll probably fix soon enough. 

I will miss having a porn game show up whenever typing in a random word though.
 
Anyway:

Ditto. Search engine seems more efficient. Finally I get the right page I'm looking for without worrying about typing the name too quickly.

Heck yea, something about having to wait that extra 1 second kills me inside before.

It still can't find "Will Rock". So it still kinda sucks.
 
Edit: This one.

It has improved overall though, so it's all good.

Indeed. I thought this kind of thing would be fixed, but it's just as bad as ever.

Sometimes clicking something in the drop down menu is very unresponsive.

Yeah, I've started to use the keyboard instead, since it's more reliable.

Why's it gotta make the page scroll? That behavior throws me off completely makes it difficult to select the first result, which is usually the one that I want.

I really don't like the search engine because it doesn't go past 10 or 12 entries and no way to scroll down. This makes adding things to pages VERY annoying! I am trying to add Adventure to sword as the first appearance and it's impossible. And I can't edit Adventure's aliases to make it come up more easily. :/
 
The search engine should always give the shortest version first!

I think having the search be able to scroll down would use up too many resources... loading up all of those results at once would be wayyy too slow...
I agree that for adding stuff to pages, it's kind of broken, but I think the best solution would be to have a "more results" button at the bottom... maybe just a little ">>" or something

@Vigorousjammer: I don't think he's saying it would have to all be loaded at once; just on demand, like what you've also suggested.
Searching does not appear to be a significant drain on resources currently, and I don't think exact matches would be a huge problem either. But hey, I didn't make this site, so I don't know if they've got some incredibly inefficient search code or crappy database structure behind the scenes.

Cool beans.  Now...can we get a search field for the Users' page...or is there some trick that I don't know about that will save me from surfing through all those names page by page?
