I'm not sure how long ago it changed, but the search function for the wiki page is almost entirely useless.

Previously you were able to search generic terms like "booster" "cooldown" "erotic dvd" etc and have pages containing that information pop up. Now, the only thing the search feature works for is if you know the exact name of the page you're looking for.

For example, searching "xanax" will yield no results. But searching "drugs" will bring up just the "drugs" page, same as if you clicked on it from the quick links.

This makes the wiki incredibly hard to use and not intuitive, as the only way to find the information you're looking for is to know the exact page title beforehand.

(For anyone interested in booster effects, after some searching around I figured out that the page is called "Item cooldowns")

You'd think that by now I'd learn to search more than 10 pages back to see if it's already been reported. Maybe this will be a reminder, I suppose.
