My number one concern is that two out of the very first two things I tried doing worked spectacularly badly. It failed to turn up the expected results. If you read the post you'd know that of the two issues, the other one was the one I considered the worse of the two though.
If that's what it takes? It's not really my concern how it works, only that searching for X should turn up X, even if the way X was searched for doesn't work with the sort of naive text match search that might work with a simple regex. Whether that's typo detection or recognising ubiquitous alternative names.
At least 50% of your issues is that OM didn't know slang.
