I would like to search the docs with “hostname”… The [“Adcanced search” with the String “hostename”](https://yunohost.org/de/search?q=hostname) has 0 hits… But [search by “hostnam”](https://yunohost.org/de/search?q=hostnam) has 7 hits:
Same with the normal search: But this is also broken, because the user didn’t see anything!

Sharp eyes for spotting the difference 🙂 It seems not to work with a number of keywords. I see the same behaviour with `host` (… hosts… is mentioned in the results) vs `hosts` (0 results)
Perhaps some normalizing grammar check, that is not suited for IT applications? `hostname` could be seen as a typo for `host name` which does give results as well.
Sometimes my incomplete search strings get abbreviated to another word that is contained in the search term.
I guess it’s a matter of configuration, or an upstream bug. The page has Grav in the footer, but I didn’t see a search bar on the Grav-website.

It’s definitely related to the search plugin we use : [GitHub - trilbymedia/grav-plugin-tntsearch: Powerful indexed-based full text search engine powered by the TNTSearch library](https://github.com/trilbymedia/grav-plugin-tntsearch)
Issue [With update to Grav 1.7.22, TNTSearch now appears to fail when you type in an entire word/string · Issue #121 · trilbymedia/grav-plugin-tntsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/trilbymedia/grav-plugin-tntsearch/issues/121) may be a good lead… Let’s disable `stemmer` and re-index… and fixed! … I think?

… and I discover they changed their search plugin to promote a paid one… 😕
