Description
### Enhancement Summary
If one searches for "Stereo enhancer," show result "StereoEnhancer effect," and if one searches for "StereoMatrix," show result "Stereo Matrix" (by running a search alongside that ignores spaces in results/search expression).
(Also, if possible, rename StereoEnhancer to "Stereo Enhancer" by putting a space in between, see Justification)
#### Justification
I have to consciously remember to keep myself from putting a space between "Stereo" and "Enhancer," or from typing "StereoMatrix" (one word), because both throw no results.
The ability of search to ignore a space in both search listings and search box would be quite useful as a behaviour.
(Additionally it'd be nice if there was a standard for naming effect plugins so there would be consistency in the results. But that's a plus.)
