Basically I wanted to be able to search things like
csc programmingto get courses in department csc with programming in their title (currently skedge returns no results found). I've also made the search syntax more flexible (e.g. you can do things like "instructor = brown") and consistent (before, "instructor: brown" worked but "term: fall" didn't; now they both work). I've assumed that crn's are 5 digits, and nothing else is, so just "12345" will search for a course with crn 12345.However, this might break something with some of my assumptions. One I'm most worried about is that all 2 or 3 character words with only letters are treated like they're a department, which would break some title searches.
