Better Search Function for Community

Being new to Marketo, I have a lot of questions but have trouble finding the answers in the community. I know the information must be out there either in the discussions or help articles but the answer I am looking for never appears in the results.  It would be nice to be able to use quotes around phrases you want to search specifically for (similarly to Google) because it seems like Marketo provides results for each word separately.

Same here - Salesfore community search works really well and really fast. Marketo should 1) prompt people to enter a QUESTION, as most enter a cryptic 3-5 word phrase that makes no sense in the search results, and 2) automatically show results in the search bar, so we can quickly filter through.

May be one of my top 3 frustrations... in life. The search functionality is absolutely terrible. This community is gold. We need better access to the information.

This absolutely kills me - it seems like the search worked really well until a few months ago and then something changed and strings stopped working :(

That would be great.
It would also be really useful to be able to sort the results by time, because I often get results from 2009-2011 at the top, but those are usually not relevant since there's been so much changes in marketo since then..

Just to clarify; I know that it is possible to sort by "most recent" already, but when doing that the posts on top never has anything at all to do with the words I searched for, so it's pretty much like not having that function at all.
