Description

It's not case sensitive, but it is accent sensitive (in Spanish, "limite" doesn't work for "Límite"--the accent is required over the i). For multi-word domain, the whole phrase is needed, so neither "universe" nor "creation" suffices to find "universe, creation"--neither "language" nor "thought" brings up "Language And Thought".

The search is primarily done by the numeric semantic domain id, so this isn't high priority.

Alternatively/Additionally, we may want to show suggestions as the user types.
