+As course advising at UC Berkeley has shifted to a predominantly online format, the popularity of the EECS 101 Piazza for course & advising-related inquiries has increased rapidly. Over 4,000 students actively browse the forum, in search of everything from waitlist-related questions to workload discussions and extracurricular opportunities.

Piazza seems to use some combination of exact word matching and time-based sorting - and it’s incredibly frustrating for anyone trying to search for answers in a repository of over 13,500 Q&A posts.
