Vocabulary Explorer Bug

Hi all,

I see from the web logs for the Vocabulary Explorer service [1] that people are using the service. This is great news.

Unfortunately, I have also noticed that there is a problem when searching for terms in the UCD vocabulary. The issue relates to including a '.' (full stop) in the search term. This is caused by the underlying information retrieval platform.

I'm afraid that for the moment this will have to remain as a bug until I have time to fix this. You can retrieve these terms by entering each word separately. For example instead of searching for em.ir
you should search for
em ir

(Sorry about the blanket email, but I am aware that someone is consistently searching for UCD terms and I would like to help them improve their results.)

Cheers,

Alasdair
