Mod portal search doesn't find a work present in a mod's name

Apparently, this is a place to report bugs with search? When I try searching "rhythm", expecting to see
Build Without Rhythm, I see no results.

Can reproduce indeed, with this specific search.
Tried with other words, but couldn't find a word that failed the same way.

The mods title is not actually "Build Without Rhythm", for some reason it is:

Yeah, but as long as there is "rhythm" in the title, the search should work, no matter the number of spaces before it, right ?

Certainly, I just think that is the reason it doesn't.

Hi, I created this mod. In the mod's info.json I set the title to "Build Without Rhythm" (3 spaces) as a joke. I tried to also set it like that in the mod website, but the site eliminates duplicate spaces, so instead I gave it the name "Build Without Rhythm" which contains Unicode space-like characters (I think it's narrow no-break space, U+202F). As a joke. That was probably breaking your search algorithm because it thinks "Without Rhythm" is one word. I've now changed it to use space, special space, space. Searching for "rhythm" still doesn't work but I think that's because you are caching searches. Try searching it again in a few hours when the cache entry expires.
