Option search misses many results

[ToxicFrog]

Specifically, more general searches (shorter input) seem to return fewer results (at least sometimes) than more specific searches (longer input that is a superstring of the shorter input from before).

For a concrete example, take a search for ftp:

• 12 hits
• One of those is for options in services.atftpd
• Three are for services.vsftpd

But if we search for services.atftpd we get three options, rather than the one we got before, and a search for services.vsftpd returns 28 -- more than the entire previous search for ftp did, even though the results should be a strict subset of that search!

This appears to have happened along with the recent redesign of the search page that adds a lot more vertical padding to the search results, but that might be a coincidence.

Thank you for reporting this. It definitely looks strange behavior.
