i'm not saying its wrong, i'm just saying i didn't thought it worked that way, since it's not explicit nowhere in the search page.
Almost all forums have the exact same searchengine! They all work the same; If no other options are available or specified then it is always «*xml*» that is going to be searched...

In fact, everywhere you search in Windows, it uses the same non-word search unless you specifically enable the "words only" option if available.

In other words, there is nothing "strange" about it, it is the standard way used everywhere...

Well, if you have a sentence like:

I will try that in xml.
It won't work with "xml ". But then try "xml " " xml", which is more efficient.
No, not on forums.

When you search for two words, it uses the AND operator, not the OR operator.

Searching for: "xml " " xml" means that the text should contain and "xml " and " xml".
