Please add categories and tags so readers can reference past articles rather than spending days scrolling. For the love of God, please. Or even a key word search within Substack. As a writer, I shouldn't have to go to Google to look up references to my own articles. Thank you.

Jasmine, thanks for the reply. Really, it's about our readers' ability to search by topic or keywords, and then have search results populate in an easy to see way. It seems very difficult for our readers to search and find past articles, and with the number of writers you now have on your network and the growing body of content, I would think this would be a huge priority to make each writer's site stickier. Thanks again for the reply - happy to help with this somehow if you need it!
The search function as it now currently works, penalizes both readers and writers.
How is it possible that we are not able to showcase rich content, by not even being able to show everything that been written. It is a great disservice to writer efforts.
Why is it so difficult to have a good search function by keywords for example.

TAGS!!! Essential for SEO, y'know?
We hear you on that! We've shipped some recent search improvements to the substack homepage (substack.com) and are still working on it.
For categories, would the sections function work? Or is there something else you have in mind? More info on sections here: https://on.substack.com/p/a-guide-to-publication-sections

Thanks Dan, appreciate the feedback. We're thinking about things like post tags and will pass it to the rest of the product team.
This would be an excellent feature- I second DanтАЩs request- has this happened since it was written?
This is urgent. I second this.

Will be grateful if this fixed asap.
Agree 100%
