Description
There is this page I check from time to time to find out about the release dates of future QtC releases. I used to search for it in the old wiki and find it on the first page of search results.
The search tool of the new wiki just doesn't work as expected. If I search for the exact page title, it opens that page instead of showing the search results. If I search for "Qt Creator Release", i.e. the word "Release" in singular, the releases page appears on the second results page, i.e. it is not among the first 50 results. And the first 50 matches are rather irrelevant. And it is shown there although there is an exact match on the page. I wonder where that page would land in the results if the string "Qt Creator Release Cycle" was missing in the releases page.
To sum up, the search tool needs a lot of improvement to become useful. I assume that Qt Project has resources and means to improve the search tool. If not, just ignore this suggestion.
The search in question: https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?search=Qt+Creator+Release&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go
