Hi & thanks for metacpan,

I was about to direct a colleague to https://metacpan.org/search?q=if but there are no hits.

I can find the module via https://metacpan.org/search?q=ilya or via http://search.cpan.org/search?query=if&mode=all

I'm guessing that the metacpan search omits 'if' because it is a stopword? Maybe the stopwording could be done for text search, but not for package names?

Thanks,
