The search shortcut is useful, shouldn't be removed, but it could be more useful if it narrowed down the search results by including:
1. Date range: I use 25 years before birth, to approximate death. i.e. if born 1900 and died 1950, I include '1875..1950' in the search terms. If unknown death date, assume 60 years.
2. Name combinations: first+last, first+middle+last, middle+last, preferred+last, plus combinations with currrent last name and other last names and with 'last, first' combinationations..
3. The 'genealogy' tag doesn't add any value, the other terms should narrow down the search.
If it's a common name, I usually add locations to the search, though that could be difficult for WikiTree since we don't have any date standardization. Or spouse name or parent(s) name(s) if known. But it's always easier to remove unneeded search terms than to cut/paster new ones.
