[rt-users] Search engine

[Явор Маринов]

That's right, using the quick search is returning no results if you are 
not using "string with a space"

When I saw the information on the search engine, i really got upset 
because search engines nowadays doesn't work this way.

Probably there is a solution for this, and if I find something related 
will add a comment here. Thank you for your time.
