For the most part, if these words are not already in use it would probably be awkward to add them, so they are added behind the scenes with an HTML comment - like this: | However, this can be fixed by adding these words to the page.

Now a search for "Get", "Item", or "Count" will return GetItemCount. Of course, once this project is completed, many other things will too, but it should make the Search function far more robust. | Now a search for "Get", "Item", or "Count" will return GetItemCount.
