I am not sure if this belongs in feature request or technical support, but it has been around for a while.
Also, this is a little hard for me to phrase, so let me give some examples first.

Note: This only applies in-game.

Lets say you are searching for a K-On! map, so you type in K-On! and get a bunch of results. You want to narrow down your results, so you add on "thank you" to your search. Now, you get 0 results.

Another example, if you type in an artist name, like Hatsune Miku. You will again get a lot of spells. If you just add on " spell" to your search, hoping to find Recommended Spell, you will be sad to know that you will get 0 results. Instead you must type "Hatsune Miku - Recommended Spell", not "Hatsune Miku - Spell" or "Hatsune Miku Recommended Spell."

As a way around this, some people add of the words in every other field to the tags list, which technically solves this problem, but I don't think people should do that. Instead, all items in all fields should act like they are in the same bucket, like if they were all tags.

Oh was the OP referring to in game? /facepalm

In game search doesn't like mixing artist and song name unless you get the "-" in the right place. Searching for "recommended" or "spell" works, but "spell miku" returns 0 result.

Yeah would be nice if this can be added.

Really sorry about that, I'll change the op to say wtihin game (title is too short xD)
those
Currently, in-game search goes through the "Tags" part of all your .osu files as one string. If your search input string is contained within a certain .osu's Tags string, it will show up on the list. That is, for example, searching "orld ep k" will bring up http://osu.ppy.sh/s/81136 as one result, since "orld ep k" is found in "vocaloid tell your world ep kz hatsune miku".

In-game search will not separate the Tags string into separate entries, so this will require a different coding, if possible.

I wonder if this is also one of those things which peppy plans to address in osz2?
