Request: Better search functionality

BP is a great resource that I am relying on more and more for direction on many questions.

I have noticed recently that when searching for a topic like lending (not purchasing) with an IRA, I get hundreds of results with the vast majority totally unrelated to my specific question. Moreover, the "Related Forum Discussions" suggestions are never even close to my topic. (For example, on this one I get "Thoughts on moderation functionality," "Automating my processes to streamline management," and "Commercial blanket loans for SFHs")

Because of the poor search functionality, we get dozens, if not hundreds of redundant posts, making BP less, not more, effective as a tool.

Is there anything in the works to improve this?

Many thanks and keep up the good work!
