Right now, it feels very clumsy. You have to open a new page, when you search, you have to scroll down a page to find relevant articles, and for every 10 articles, you have to go to a new page. The articles shown is not in the steemit format which makes it feel like a compromized experience. I don't know how to search for tags and that probably also means that other noobs does so as well.
All these things makes searching an unpleasant experience and makes us rather want to use tags and the feed instead. A good search engine alows users to find better content, makes good content producers get more exposure. It will also make steemit become easier to learn.
Please tell me what you think.
