In the simple search (at the top of every page here), when you search for a single letter (say "x"), it searches for records where ' '+title+' ' like '% x %', which allows the space-separated "x" to appear at the front or back of the title without having to incur the CPU penalty for pulling in the powerful regex engine.

That would be a reasonable enhancement to super search's title searching capabilities, especially if it is made smart enough to avoid the space concatenation when there are no search terms that begin and/or end with a space.

Any takers?
