I find the global search results to be severely lacking in its ranking algorithm. I rarely see the result I'm looking for near the top of the results.
For example, if you search for 'Druid', you get a bunch of good results, however the item that I feel should be the first result (the class-specific druid page), is listed sixth on the results page.
The Compendium links take you to the class chapters of their appropriate books, which includes all the classes, not just the druid, and of course, only shows the information from that particular book. This is, IMO not the ideal result when looking for a specific class, especially when the class specific page combines all information from purchased books.
Agreed. The global search annoys the heck out of me. I wish I could pre-select which category I want to search so it'd take me straight to a non-compendium listing.
