Hi all I’m not really sure where to post this or how to categorize it but it just seems odd that a two-word search result should be so inaccurate than the attached example. It seems like this should be prioritized by the words I actually search for. Yes? The device with East Attic in the name is much farther down the list. I can’t imagine that something so wacky is by design.
It is working as designed. It searches for letters, not words, so type less in the search key.
It is not a typical google search. Someone thought this is clever and went with it. I hate it myself.

The search engine is terrible, almost as bad as the documentation search function (use google instead).
There are many issues and feature requests open for this. e.g. Cannot directly find match results in entity search anymore · Issue #17989 · home-assistant/frontend · GitHub

FYI this seems to have improved considerably in the 2026.1 beta version. So improvements will be in the next release.
