Bug in board search function

Try putting a 9 in your search. Probably has similar results for other numbers but I haven't tried.

Well in almost all programming and scripting languages, it's not possible to have things like 'variables' begin with a number.  So I would imagine that it's something to do with that.  A lot of languages, when you do try to use a number (or any other illegal character) as the first character, it adds some sort of character to the front of it.
