Isn't that the rationale for having both "?" and "??"? I
whole-heartedly agree with this change.
I just don't understand why ? is now an exact search and ?? is the
substring search. Why not leave ? as the substring and make ?? the
exact search?
But it's not that big of a deal. Go ahead and change it if you think
it's better.
