My only guess, is that how things are settled for now, you can easily bury some posts.
I saw a post, participated in it, try to see today if there were other posts after mine and it's just impossible to find it except by going page after page.
The post is this one : https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/230268/t1-alpha-shortage.
I tried to search for the words : alpha shortage. All i got, are posts that may contain those words : a search done inside posts' words and not in title. That post doesn't even appear in the result : title is just not relevant !
No surprise that, going page after page, i saw a few posts having almost the same title.
I tried to be more specific using options in my search and i can't find the post either.
So, please, fix the search in a way :
- title is at least useful and at best got priority other posts' content (without having to use options).
- we can choose if we want to search or not in posts' content (simple checkbox "search in content too ?").
Thanks.

You can click on your Name at top of page, and then see your “Discussions” (one's you’ve created) as well as “Comments” (one's you’ve participated in).
You can also turn on “Notifications” in Forum Settings, that will notify you (in Forum by highlight # at top near your name) whenever additional comments come into either your Posts or ones you’ve commented in.
And fyi for Posts you haven’t commented in, but wish to follow, you can “Bookmark” a thread by clicking it's STAR symbol next to the Post's Title.
My main issue here is not that i've had trouble to find a discussion but mostly than anyone else will. That's why the title of that discussion is "Improve forum search tool".
For me, the main purpose of a forum is to people to discuss with each other not to keep them in separated rooms.
In forum, usually, you try to keep a low number of discussion and redirect people if they create a discussion when a same topic is actually commented. It takes times but it really improve the community's discussions. Without that, at least a search tool that allow people who are wondering if they are the only one having any issue to find out.
Just during the weekend, how many discussions were created about Nick Fury bug ? or Ghost bug ?
So many separated rooms.
