I'm pretty sure they don't invest in search because it's a poor return on investment. Most people just hit the first page, crank one out, and leave. The next cohort is similarly easily satisfied with their crap search. The people looking for specifics like "big tit short red hair reverse cowgirl pov outdoors at dusk" aren't profitable enough to spend engineering time on.
That's my hypothesis, anyway.
If people would tag their uploads correctly...
I think they have incentives to tag broadly but not accurately so they pick up more visitors. Tag it as "anal" when there's like a glimpse of butt, and you might get more views from people looking for that. There's no mechanism to punish inaccurate titles and tagging that I know of.
Yeah, I hate that. It's the same way on ImageFap, which is even more annoying because they don't even make money off of it.
Amen. I don't even need to click on a video, at this point. Home page is all I need if ya nahmsayin'.
Bing is better for NSFW searches, in my experience, but if you want to be really specific, Yandex with a good VPN might be what you need.
