A Product Library observation - searching for Orc -- and now "Bus"

I checking my product library, searching for what "Orc" related products I have for a render,  cause I'll buy some more if I dont have what I need.  

So I put orc into the the library filter  and guess what pops up,  every single dforce product in the library  literally pages of unrelated dforce clothing. 

So I try "Orc" capitalized,  hoping for case sensitive filtering,  but no luck. 

And that's the observation,  Why isn't that filter NOT case sensitive to partial word searches dont clutter the filtered list?

    Try orc with a space before or after it - that seemed to work quite well for me, though it still caught orchid and orchard with the space before and might catch soemthing like "Torc for Genesis..." with it after (though I didn't have anything like that).

    You might get a more specific listing if you use the keyword search filter such as key::orc but that depends on what tags either the vendor and/or you have set into products.  I have been periodically adding more tags to some products from the Daz store and to all third part content I install manually that usually have no metadata tags.

    If a standard search doesn't yield desirable results for me, I use a keyword search to see if I can get better results.  For example, I have added scifi to many products because some science fiction products are titled and/or tagged with Sci Fi, others with Sci-Fi, others with SciFi, and some, perhaps, with no science fiction name/tag.

    Probably won't make a difference, but have you tried puting "quote marks" around orc?

    'orc' showed me masses of orcs for Genesis 9 - but none for e.g. Genesis 3 or 8.

    Next word mayhem  I looking for a "bus",  in my content library,  but we get business, busy, bushes, with a sprinkcle of busses,  

    Now understandibly partial word matches can be beneficial, (and maybe a selection option of a partial search could be implemented)    but can they figure out a way  that when we type orc or bus,  the website shows, orc or bus.
