To search for the credit symbol in card text, you sometimes need to write "credit" and sometimes need to write "credits", apparently based on whether the accompanying numeral is a 1 or not. The current functionality arguably matches how you'd read the ability out loud, but it feels somewhat arbitrary. (This might have to do with how stripped text is generated; please feel free to transfer this issue to the card-JSON repository if that's a more useful place to handle it.)
For example, I was trying to look at "clearance" effects, so I searched for x:"credit and draw" (i.e. the common substring I expected "Gain N{c} and draw M cards." abilities to have) and got these results: https://netrunnerdb.com/find/?q=x%3A%22credit+and+draw%22&sort=name&view=images&_locale=en
I was surprised to find so few, and it turned out most of them only show up on a search for x:"credits and draw", which gives these results: https://netrunnerdb.com/find/?q=x%3A%22credits+and+draw%22&sort=name&view=images&_locale=en
I tested on both the old search and the new search and got the same results.
I'm not sure whether to call this a bug report or a feature request, but ideally I would be able to find all instances of the symbol with a consistent search string. Maybe both "credit" and "credits" should work, if that's not too hard to implement?
