I'm not getting the suggestions in the drop down box when typing in searches
anymore...
It seems that this is for everyone.
Why do you have to change something that works perfectly?

I've noticed a few major changes to the searchbar myself, all for the worse.
Previews only appear in the search bar when you type in the set number, not the
set name (which kind of defeats the purpose of it, since who memorizes those
anyways?).

Furthermore, when using the search engine now, you only get results that exactly
match the search string. Searching "Spoke" for example only gets me parts containing
"Spoke" and not "Spokes" or "Spoked", likewise I couldn't find the "Mission
Commander" set in a search for "Mission Command".

These changes are super unhelpful, especially to new users who might be coming
to look for something but not certain of exactly what it's called, especially
since naming conventions for parts aren't entirely consistent over the decades
of them being added.
