Comment on Searching and browsing on the AO3

  1. Love the new AO3, so much better than when it was 1k result capped. But, on to more pertinent matters. I was wondering (after having spent about two hours on google) if you are doing anything for in story text search? My PDA corrupted a few of my files and I have found all but one of the files through my google-fu. One thing I have found though, unique to this website, is that if I c&p text from the story google fails to find it. In fact, google is absolutely miserable at finding stuff on this site.

    Just wondering if you have any advice on how I would go about in text searching. I will probably just resort to going through every fic of the relevant fandom and attributes Ctrl+fing until I find it, but for future reference...?
