Search algorithm bug

Open

I was looking up Eversion on Trades and was getting results for Reversion. The search should be able to omit letters like R to find exact results. Or games from a dropdown menu with an id/image so that we can specify the exact game better. :<

I just tried searching for Eversion and only one thread with Reversion in it appeared among many others about Eversion.
While searching for Reversion, returns threads about Reversion only.
So, it's weird :\

Seems like the search algorithm simply ignores if the term is in the beginning or somewhere else in the word.

REVERSION is a 'nasty' word in this case.
You will find it even when searching for terms like revers, eversion, version, ever, vers, eve, sion

All in all the search algorithm is good as it is.

BTW: Correct me if I'm wrong.
