Could you give us a bit of a hint or tip about what's happening and how we could be solving that?

As explained in lots and lots of topics, the search box is optimized for full title searches, not keywords. Please stop trying to "optimize", itch.io doesn't work that way. And you can find your project by tag if you pick the right tags in the Browse section. Not from the search box. Hope this helps.

Absolutely, thanks for the clarification :)
+thanks for the quick response

With this information, I've been doing some other tests with the title.
As you said if you search for the exact title the asset appears flawlessly, however if you misspell on single word other assets (with a lot less relatable titles) appear instead (btw the original asset it doesn't appear at all)

For instance, if I search for "Lowpoly modular dungeon : The Village" it's all good and appears without any issue.
However if I search for "Lowpoly modular dungeon The Village" the asset doesn't appear and instead other quite different title assets show up (like for instance an asset named "Village Vista - A Charming 2D Village Simulator")

While I understand the first asset could be listed on lower positions or so, I would expect the asset to show up at least because of the search words content accuracy.
Anyway, simply hilighting this as I found this behaviour a little bit strange, and I don't know if this was intended or a bug or something.

cheers!

EDIT: BTW, I forgot to mention that the tag filtering worked great, but it took me a minute to understand how to use it properly.
