Is nodebb-plugin-dbsearch working fine?

<p>We migrated our forum to nodebb almost 9 years ago and we're thrilled with how fantastic everything is except for the searches.</p> <p>Even though I have the plugin enabled, the searches aren't very good. Often, we know we've written a certain message and try to search for it using a word we know should be there, but it doesn't appear. Then, we often find it directly by going into the threads, and the message is there, with the searched word, but it simply doesn't appear.</p>
