Searching for "swapmap" in Libraries and Demo's yields 0 results? Anyway we can improve that?

Hint: you are missing an s at the end of swapmaps. And what do you mean make it more functional?

It's really simple. Searching for swapmap should find all instances of swapmaps.

... in other words, make it have wildcards (*) in automatically?

Search for swapmap* instead. If you're unsure of the exact spelling, wildcards are the way to go.

You could have also searched for author:LummoxJR (swapmaps is the first result)

By default, it seems logical to return more and let advanced users filter for less. If I don't know Lummox and if I don't know the exact spelling, the term Swap should find what I'm looking for even if I have to dig a little. An advanced user (experienced BYONDer) will naturally be more specific to reduce their result set.
