difficult to find project name in search engine

Description

Hi, I've been finding it difficult to use your search engine to find a project I recently created on sourceforge.

The project is called "BasEdit.Net". It's main-page is at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/baseditnet

So I know where it is, I made a note of the address, my concern is whether others looking for it can find it via the site's search engine.

Initially, I tried typing in search terms such as "basedit", and "basedit.net", neither of them returned search results containing my project (although it found other projects unrelated to the one I was after).

I've now noticed however that I can successfully search for the project if I use the term "BasEdit" or "BasEdit.Net".

This surprised me that the case-sensitivity had such an impact on the search results, so thought I'd better bring it to your attention.

Thanks for the report, I've actually run into this a few times myself. I'm escalating this to our engineering team to evaluate: https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/4597/
