"Discuss in Community" does not take me anywhere meaningful

When I click "Discuss in Community" I come to the search page with a search of the slug of the tutorial, which search for the individual words in the slug.

The first issue is that I think that most people will push that button for 2 reasons:

• Ask a question
• Get info about the tutorial

There is no button there to create a post, and even if I navigate to a place with a button, the user has no idea where to post this and how to tag it.

The search does not return info about the tutorial but searches for the individual words, which sure will bring back some related content but often not exactly and certainly not about the specific tutorial.

This is what that button has always done in the community. What do we want it to do? Should it take you to post a question instead? The fragmentation of the community topics into separate boards makes this rather difficult to do from our side.

Maybe recent changes in the community infrastructure changed the way this works, but we used to have a button that created a new question in the QA section of the community, tagged that question with the tags of the tutorial as well as the slug for that tutorial, and then let a user write and submit the question.

Now it opens up a search with the indivdual keywords of the slug, which maybe makes writing a good slug more important now. But even if it brings back results, many of those results are not helpful, and there is no button to open a question, and I'm not sure where to go to ask the community. Maybe this is more an issue related to the community.
