Autocompleter sometimes does not include an exact match

Because it sorts by frequency count, smaller words like loo that occur as the first letters of many common words may not show up as exact matches in the autocompleter. If you type that into a search in any of the Dubsar interfaces (including browser search bars using the OpenSearch protocol), you will not see loo as a suggestion. The autocompleter is sorted by frequency count, so this is not necessarily a bug. It functions as designed. But it can be confusing to a user if they expect to see matching suggestions.
