The current search bar is barely functional for it’s intended purpose. At the moment, you need to type in what you are searching for VERBATIM otherwise nothing useful comes up. The autocomplete does not find what you are looking for once a single character is incorrect, not just letters. For example, some categories have dashes (“-“) or slashes (“/“) in their titles and typing without will yield quite impressively 0 relevant results. I feel like the system should be smart enough to know what I am looking for and when it’s is typed slightly incorrectly I expect to see it somewhere as a related search result.

To add on to this, even when typing the search terms correctly, many of the results that do show up below my intended result are completely unrelated. This kills the search bar as a method of discovery, and requires us to know exactly what we are looking for.

The search bar on twitch is a bad user experience, and functionally fails to meet modern expectations.
