That’s a very silly limitation. – If I’m searching for game assets (not games), and I want to search for swords, but limit the results to those that have the #3D tag, then I should be able to.

Literally it’s less overhead on the database to search a subset than it is to search the whole thing, so, it would be both more user friendly, and more performant. – I don’t understand why that limitation exists.

For example, if I search for “Sword 3D”, I only see assets with both words in the title, and assets like this one: https://mecanes-assets.itch.io/sword simply do not show up in the search results.

It just looks for those words in the title, it doesn’t search by tag at all.

What you ask is only an issue for some assets because there is the bad habit of asset creators to have a descriptive title, but not tagging all relevant information.

For games there is no use case for searching a game by title, but filtering results also by tags. And if you use tags, you do not search a specific game.
