| Can we do anything about the fact that searching "mtron" and "m tron" bring up
different results?
Also the search engine doesn't recognize apostrophes. Like I can search "Emma
house" but "Emma's house" give me an error message.
Thanks for the consideration.

Well the first thing to do would be to standardize the term "M:Tron" in the entire
catalog so that the searches were more consistent. Thus, all of the items that
currently come up with a search for "mtron" should have "M:Tron" in their names
instead of "MTron". That would go a long way towards solving this first problem.
I will submit change requests to get this started.

This one has definitely always bothered me.

Me too.
I wish all punctuation was removed for searches. My claim to fame was getting
Palantir added to the Palantír entry. I failed to get non accented versions of
the names in FEB though.

All of the item names in the catalog with any reference to M:Tron have been standardized
to "M:Tron".
If you run a search for "m:tron" or "m tron" now, you will get all of the results
in the catalog. However, if you run a search for "mtron" now, you will get no
results. This is not ideal, but at least the searches are not inconsistent. Hopefully
what the volunteer admin team was able to accomplish here can help you and others
for now. Anything beyond this solution will need assistance from the BrickLink
development team.
Cheers,
Randy
