OBEX Search problem

I was trying to search the Object Exchange for "SerialMirror" but the search result only showed "MultiCogSerialDebug" an object based on SerialMirror.

I managed to find it by searching for just "Serial" and scrolling thru the results.

Curious...

    The problem is, and Parallax really needs to fix this, the search only searches the description. It does not search the title. This is a big problem. I have been adding the name of my object as the first line of the description, and that fixes it.

    The best method to search the OBEX is to use a site restricted Google search. So, to search for "SerialMirror" as you stated, put this into a Google Search box:

    SerialMirror site:obex.parallax.com
