search hates the numbers 0-9

Apparently, the search engine can't find a single post with any of those numbers in it.  10 and up work fine, but any string that includes a single digit by itself returns zero results.

That makes "4 way" and "4-way" hard to search with.

It doesn't like Q*bert either.

Like almost all other search engines by the way...
