I'll give you a Pro Tip:

DON'T search for the whole title.

Search for a unique-ish word in the title (more than three letters - FR search dislikes 3-letter or less search terms).

This is actually good advice on searching in general with any search engine.

My observation is that people appear to be searching for an EXACT match.

Computers are notorious for discarding results that are one character away from your EXACT search term.

I learned this the hard way in college on a programming assignment.

Actually on FR if I don’t search for the exact title I get crap back.
