Tune named ROLLE

So… I ran into a tune called ROLLE in KS1C1856 (it's 76t), a hymnal that only has page scans and text authorities linked. I went to “Advanced Search” and tried to find out if there were any instances of a tune named ROLLE. Instead of giving me results for ROLLE, it gave me 410 hits including all tune names with ROLL regardless of what if anything was the next letter. I can uderstand why searching for ROLLE might, indeed probably would, bring up instances of Rolled, but I really can't imagine a good reason why ROLL CALL and ROLLING should come up. Sort of negated the whole point to an advanced search on the topic.

That is not a word that our system knows, so it thinks it may be a typo and gives you with results with “roll” and results with “rolled.” You can switch to the new search results page and sort by title. The R's are on page 4 and 5 of the results

I sort of get it. (There are other times when I slightly misspell a first line or fail to add “The” at the beginning of a hymnal title, though, and instead of trying to help it just says “No results.” or whatever the term is…
