When I search for perl it returns entries for HyperloopTT which doesn't have any openings for perl. I assume you are just sub-string matching against all text. If I add a blank before and after perl it doesn't match any text. Wrapping blanks around perl would also preclude matching "^perl" or "perl\.".

Do you have any plans to allow matching only words?
