Keyword searches match jobs with no keyword matches. Like devops

It also searches job descriptions for those keywords. If the keyword is in the job description, the result is returned.

Searching for `nim` the language, returns results with words like `animation` or `minimal`.

This is a known problem and I'm afraid I don't have an easy solution for that right now.

The problem is that a separate index must first be built to assign all related tags to job listings as some don't have any and others don't have all related ones.

Once that is completed, the search functionality will be reverted to what it was initially with the ability to search by strings and/or tech tags individually.

I've been contemplating how I'm going to achieve this for a couple weeks and have a pretty good model in mind but no ETA on when it will be implemented.

It doesn't work at all for me. I always get the same results no matter what I type on the search box.

You may be searching too broadly. Adding additional keywords will help to narrow the results.

When searching, you can see the number of results returned at the top left.

EDIT: I did find an error that was sometimes causing auto-complete and search to not work. This has been resolved.
