bzr-search doesn't do stemming - you can find what search terms there
are using suggestions - 'bzr search -s Preferences'. Likewise it doesn't
do regex searching.

Nor does it have a suffix index (where you put rabedis and rabedis-on in
an index and can then find both sidebar and no-sidebar efficiently).

indeed, it can be improved - patches to do are welcomed. For now though,
lets keep trying to refine this bug into something more actionable -
e.g. a regex engine, stemming or suffix matching, etc.
