Dear DBpedia Lookup team,

First of all, thanks for bringing up the DBpedia Lookup service again
after the short unplanned downtime. I have one remark, though: could
it be that it used to be more forgiving in the past? Let me illustrate
with a couple of queries for "martin luther king":

http://lookup.dbpedia.org/api/search.asmx/KeywordSearch?&QueryString=martin+luther+king
=> no results
http://lookup.dbpedia.org/api/search.asmx/KeywordSearch?&QueryString=martin+luther+king+jr.
=> no results
http://lookup.dbpedia.org/api/search.asmx/KeywordSearch?&QueryString=martin+luther+king,+jr.
=> correct results

So it seams like as if it only matches the exact terms of the
corresponding DBpedia resource page
http://dbpedia.org/page/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr. Obviously the old
service is gone, so comparing is difficult, but I have the gut feeling
that it used to be a little more forgiving in the past. Can anyone
confirm or deny this?

Thanks!

Best,
Tom
