Search engine: asterisk bug
 

I've noticed that the search engine setting have been adjusted. Aside from changing the time between searches (3 -> 25 :(), I cannot use asterisks ('*') anymore. In the past, I was able to use asterisks as a placeholder character to lower the minimum length of word by one. Although this was a bug, now the asterisk throws an error which is a bug as well.

I'd like to use all conjugations for the words I search. For instance in the quoted example: alcoholics; alcoholic; and alcohol. I don't mind using logic operators for now but they too are buggy too (link to bug description). Can't wait to see getDare upgraded. ⏰

Would anyone be so kind to resolve this problem?

This is the result of changes I made. I've re-enabled this for now.

I am actively working on updates to the site. I've said that for years but I have a proof of concept that is very far along. This site is a money hole for me so please understand that while I won't let it die it's not the first priority for me to upgrade it.
