Is there a reason why in-game mod searching is not a proper search?

Searching for mods in-game is a nightmare, keywords don't work correctly in multiple ways.

Example: Search in mods for the word warehouse, you get nothing, but there are actually several mods with the word warehouse in the name. This is the main issue.

Example 2: Search for the word armor, you get 8 mods but only one of them has the word armor in the name. This is less of a problem because the other 7 mods do have armor as one part of what they do, but maybe have a toggle for including/excluding mods like this.

I suspect you have filtered your mod search with the "No category" category. That's why you get no mods when searching "Warehouse" and only 8 with "armor".
Bear in mind that with 1.1, you can't "unfilter" the category if you select one. To do so, you have to leave the mod search, and get back in the mod manager.
