The string matching is fuzzy though. It is case insensitive and it ignores at least some non-alphanumeric characters.

For example, "twenty-four" will return results about the TV show "Twenty Four" as well as results for "twenty four" and "twenty-four".

There's some other maddening exceptions for those who would prefer exact string matching, but I can't remember them all and it's changed over the years too.
