Search function is disappointing

Bug report
1

App version: x.y.z
3.7.0

Android version: 5.x (Please mention if you are using a custom rom!)
14

Device model:
Samsung S23

Expected behaviour:
To search the right episode based on the title

Current behaviour:
It searches through the description which makes it impossible in my case to find the podcast

First occurred: (e.g. about x days/weeks ago)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. find “David Goggins” in Modern Wisdom podcast
  2. you will find every podcast containing the David Goggins episode in the description (every episode has it). Original podcast is #577, but basically every episode is shown.

Please solve it. The app is perfect, but this search option is disappointing. Give priority to the title and then go for what you find in the description. Thank you so much to the staff for the fantastic work they do every day.

Not sure how the app could overcome this easily - it would probably be an overhaul on searching, with more options and trying to do those in a easy to use way. I could see that searching descriptions might be useful and wouldn’t want those disabled automatically…

Modern Wisdom seems to always list several other podcasts in each description that one might like, as a reference. If they didn’t do this, the search on this podcast would be better.

exactly. I think they would need to give priority to the title first and then the description, I don’t know if it’s a difficult thing to do but it would make searching way faster.

Maybe they could add some filter options which would only look for what’s in the title without looking at the description, that would work greatly I think.
