There's a bug in keyword searches using the "?" wildcard.

In preparing for the installation of Advanced Searching here, my colleague
Chris Mays noticed that the "?" symbol does not work as a
replacement for a character in all cases.  For example, "wom?n" works 
fine but "b?rd" does not work [that is, to find authors Byrd & Bird].  

Innovative tested it, too, and agrees that does not work in the first 2
character positions.  They will change their documentation.
