FF.net has a few advantages - like, if I search a particular word, I only get stories in the results where the word appears in the title or summary. On AO3, it just seems to be random :c
But only being able to tag one pairing is a drag, and while there is something to be said for brevity the small space for summaries is a bother, and only being able to tag two fandoms in a crossover can also be a drag. It has its limitations, is what I'm saying.

Searching on AO3 tip

Tip: When you're filtering on AO3 and enter something in the Search Within Results field, by default it searches all text fields. Those fields are summary, title, creators, tag, notes, and endnotes. You can specify which field you want to search (e.g. to achieve a similar effect as FFN search, put summary: Harry OR title: Harry (the field names and OR are case sensitive, but your search term isn't) in the Search Within Results field of the filters). Or, you can identify which fields you don't want it to search and just do a general search but then exclude those fields (e.g. Harry -creators: Harry to search for Harry in all fields except for the author names). A bit more involved than FFN's search, but it does give you more granularity/control.
