If I am not mistaken much of the “Search Engine” confusion lies with the OP of the model and not filling out the “Description” or “Title” correctly for the search engine to take advantage of.
Perfect example is this thread below where the teacher was trying to find the model the student used and claimed as her own:
https://forums.sketchup.com/t/student-turned-in-model-from-warehouse-instead-of-their-own-work/158996
The house he was looking for isn’t even listed as a house but is found under “Solar 7 - Massachusetts Institute of Technology”?
So in the end if the OP of the model doesn’t even “TAG” the model correctly? You are going to have all kind of variables popping up in your search. Not sure if there is a way to police that either and I would not even know where to start. I just keep entering different descriptions until something comes close…or even if I get desperate I will run a “Google” search with “SketchUp” in the description to find different model…
Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess…
