Simple bug.. when you search for "Raft" it won't find our game :( Even though everything's alright at www.speedrun.com/raft

it's simply an issue of there being a lot of games which also have the characters "raft" in their name that are more popular on the site (namely minecRAFT for one) However at the bottom of the list on the search if you click the more option it does show up there.

Honestly though, searches should prioritize exact matches first rather than merely sorting by popularity.

yea exactly :/ I've seen a couple times that friends were searching for the Raft page and just couldn't find it.. specially when one is not used to the speedrun website yet

I generally just navigate the site via Google, ignoring the built-in search function entirely. For example, to find Raft, I would search “raft speedrun.com.”
