Seems like the Search function doesn't actually search the 'torrents' but only searches the descriptions.
I put in 'Cardcaptor' in the search box, and it did not return this torrent:
[Coalgirls] Cardcaptor Sakura (960x720_Blu-Ray_FLAC).torrent 50.29 GB,
from http://bakabt.me/156241-card-captor-sakura-960x720-blu-ray-flac-coalgirls.html ,
nor the 'yet-to-be-released'
[Coalgirls] Cardcaptor Sakura (1440x1080_Blu-Ray_FLAC).torrent 122.66 GB,
from http://bakabt.me/156185-card-captor-sakura-1440x1080-blu-ray-flac-coalgirls.html .
It's always the case, that when I look at my torrent lists in the GUI (xmission, similar to the utorrent display), that I look for the torrent name that's listed. Going from the torrent name is like the way most people would search for a torrent listed in their BT clients or on their file-system after a download.
It's also the way it's listed on their sub-site 'coalgirls.nyaatorre nts.org' as well as other download sites.
Basically, the search function really needs to index the torrent-names as well as the descriptions -- as this is also a problem when the description contains a different language from the torrent name (like one containing the english name and the other the latin names of the japanese characters (romaji))...
Thank you much for an otherwise excellent search system! :-)

It doesn't search through descriptions, but through torrent description names.
Reason for your result being you searched for Cardcaptor and newer torrents have that name separated Card Captor.
Searching for 'Captor' would wield most results

Ummm... The newest torrent is the one I searched for, and the other one isn't even approved yet. The latest spelling of the torrent names provided by Coalgirls is w/o the space. I assume you are talking about the description names -- but that's my point. I'm searching for the bakabt-descriptions based on the names of the torrents -- not by anything I'm coming up with.
Same issue happens in torrents where the description name is in one language and the torrent is in another or the torrent names are abbreviations, acronyms, or just 'generic' names. For example "PGSM" -- I didn't know what it stood for 6-8 months ago.
I don't always remember torrent names when I download from the description (especially if it's a slow torrent that that takes a few weeks to download) or get back to **.
I have one that I can't figure out off hand just called "ANIME": comment mentions 'boxtorrents' and 'Escobar', and was created on 4/5/2009 (wasn't bakabt around in 2009?). I can probably find it by size, as it's 3.29GB. Another, "H na", is equally mysterious.
It might be good (in addition, or instead of a combined search) to provide a search that can be limited to torrent-names , since, otherwise, a torrent named 'ANIME' turns up tons of false positives.
** - Side note: I had a tiny 'watching' crisis that caused an interruption and losing my download/watching order, when I ran some script that ended up 'touching' all of the directories.
I created a script that created a tmp dir in each dir, copied all the files to the tmp dir (in the listed order), then copied them back to the source loc. I needed to make sure they were created in the same order that they were listed, since MPC's "play 'next' file" option, defines next by order of _creation_, which for a 'torrent' is random.
The result was, that I'd been watching by order of download finishing in my Torrent dir. With the update, the mod times of all were reset.
I recovered recent info by copying the dir's "create" time to the mod time, which wasn't too far apart, but for the majority of the torrents, it was completely off, since they'd been copied from another disk when I had to expand space for my torrents (which saved the 'mod' time, but not the create time!)... unintended consequences... *sigh*

Search function searches torrent page titles and keywords.
The title of CGi's Card Captor Sakura is:
Card Captor​ Sakura ​(960x720 Blu-Ray FLAC) [Coalgirls]
(http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/2213/cccgi.jpg)
As such there is no 'Cardcaptor' in the torrent page title. The .torrent indeed uses Cardcaptor however the torrent page title does not.
The .torrent title does not match the torrent page title. As such searching for the .torrent wording will not produce a result.

Between the filename of the .torrent and the files listed within you should be able to figure it out. Searching already tends to be an expensive operation, and it would become even more so if we had to search for filenames, with benefit minimal.
Your original example ("cardcaptor" vs. "card captor") is an illustration of why searching torrent titles is better - they can be easily changed without affecting much of anything.

It's probably one of RS (http://bakabt.me/user/289232/RS.html)'s uploads. Believe me that it bothers the hell out of me.
Another, "H na", is equally mysterious.
Probably H Na (http://bakabt.me/148509-h-na.html)?
