Speaking of default. The 'Internals' results on the left side is disabled by default. This really bugs me.
Another issue, is that if I search for mods by a specific person, like 'Schall', I get results like 'shallow'. This should Never happen.

Internal mods have always been hidden by default. Eventually I might add some kind of user preference system to these filters.
If you want exact matches you can add quotes around the search term

Things like these need to be documented somewhere. Right now the search is a mystery box, which makes it less usable than it could be.

There's a help text when going to
