It is an attractive feature to be able to search over domain names and full urls in the urls field. Present capabilities seem
inconsistent, I am not sure what is happening.
In the collection http://bibsoup.net/pitman/distributome_references/ I would like all items that have a link to mathwold.wolfram.com.

If I search for "mathworld"

http://bibsoup.net/pitman/distributome_references/?q=mathworld&collection=%5B%22distributome_references%22%5D&showkeys=&search=Search

I get one entry (why? I'm not sure). I expect more entries.

If instead for "*mathorld*"

http://bibsoup.net/pitman/distributome_references/?q=*mathworld*&collection=%5B%22distributome_references%22%5D&showkeys=&search=Search

is better. Gives 4 which is good.

But if I search for a particular url http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GammaDistribution.html which I know is there:

http://bibsoup.net/pitman/distributome_references/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fmathworld.wolfram.com%2FGammaDistribution.html&collection=%5B%22distributome_references%22%5D&showkeys=&search=Search

I get 0 returns. Not good.
