Discord's text search isn't exact, which can be a big problem sometimes. For instance, I was in a discord for a game mod recently which had questions asked about the terms 'element' and 'elemental', which were two very different topics. You simply can't narrow your search down to just one of those. Even searching for "elemental" brought up every usage of "element".

Yes, that's exactly it. The search is greedy and even partial hits (or hits with the word order not matching your search, etc.) will show up.
