Searching weirdness ...

Why does a search for "spell book pack" (without the quotes) not find the spell book pack which has right the set term as title?

http://opengameart.org/content/spell-book-pack-0

I knew the art existed, but had lost the link, and wanted to find it again. It didn't show up till I only used "book" as search term and browsed the results.

I wonder how to search efficiently if I look for art? I mean in the case when I don't knwo that the art exists, I would have given up on the first search which didn't find the pack.

E.g. if I look for "spell book", which seems perfectly reasonable for what I am looking for, it doesn't find the pack at all:

http://opengameart.org/art-search?keys=spell+book

In this case I'd just assume the site just has no spell book art in the collection.

The rather broken search function is a known issue.  One thing you can do is to repeat the search using the "advanced search" option on the left of the normal search screen.  This is better but still not good, and still doesn't actually pull up the art in question.
