    Default Strange search result

    Here's a weird one: I was checking out my Artist signed postcards - when I type a search for M S in Collectables>Postcards>Artist Signed I get the following result: don't know why - the first entry doesn't have M S in the title - does it?

    I suspect it is matching on the apostrophised M in I'm and S in Valentine's

    The search engine likely strips out punctuation from both the search string (unless it is enclosed in quotes) and the listing title to normalise the two.

    If you search on: "M S" it goes away.

    Just a guess.
