Description
Searching was improved significantly in #81, but it's still not perfect. If you search for something and it doesn't show up, or not in the order you expect, post it here so I can start to think about what kinds of search queries need to be optimized.
I'll start off:
- [ ] searching for "lua socket" or "socket" does not find "LuaSocket"
Contributor guide
First steps

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported searches for "lua socket" and "socket" and compare them with the indexed "LuaSocket" result. Inspect the repository's search implementation and indexing entry points, then identify which query cases need optimization. Done means the expected LuaSocket search behavior is defined and covered for the reported queries.
