When I type "entitled" I get matches for "entities", "There", "Divine" and lot of others. Does it search for every single letter of the search term? That doesn't seem very useful.

It's a basic fuzzy search, are you looking for a more cognitive search where it tries to find the meaning of entitled and returns a response?

I am looking for matches that contain the word "entitled". Nothing else. This search seems way too fuzzy.

So if the word does not exist in the verses, it should show up zero matches instead of something close?

In what way is "there" even close to "entitled"?

Yes, the default should be not to show verses that don't contain the search word. At least to me the current implementation is not useful.

Similar to this: when I type "Bhima" it also gets me "Bhisma". That means it does not recognize the structure of a word.

Typing Bhima, you get Bhima quotes first then Bhishma now!

Hmm you're right. I will definitely look into improving the search.
