The search box for finding courses only matches the front of the string. I would like to be able to search on terms in the middle of the course title, or designators at the end of the course id. Workaround: Prepend the search term with % to trick the SQL search into matching 'like'.

Looking at the code, it appears that the 'search anywhere' flag is not setting properly or being respected somehow.

I'd like to see course searching be smarter, more like the search found at course/search.php which allows for using multiple terms, and include/exclude signifiers for those terms. This is a feature enhancement request, not a bug.
