Isn't that the right time to enhance things a little bit?

Well, as a newbie I don't have enough power to post any topics on my blog without getting obliterated, however, I can't hold it anymore, Codeforces' searching bar sucks to the point that actually hurts, like even if you try some of the suggestions it doesn't work either, it rarely shows some usernames but nothing more than that. Like come on guys, Codeforces is a wonderful website so I believe it's time to take it up a notch with the searching. What do you think?

You need an elastic search deployment for this kind of thing. I don't think Mike is going to spend this kind of money (it is not cheap!).

I used to be very annoyed by this search bar because it couldn't find anything except for users, not even instances in the nearby profile.

I'm still very annoyed now because it's still the same.

I will probably still be very annoyed in the future.

If the search bar is designed to search for users, then what is the second search bar designed to do at the right of the page?

Using Google to query Codeforces is currently the best option.

Codeforces doesn't adapt with you. You adapt with Codeforces to the point you start calling its UI good XD
