That's actually intentional. Similar expressions:

"all things D"
"anything D"
"nothing D"

Do you track what people enter in the search box? That might 
catch people searching for something to see if there's a post 
about some topic as well as those searching for a specific 
post; if there are searches for topic X but hasn't been a post 
for it, that would be a sign that people are interested in X.


Nice idea, and not one I considered. I'll see if there's a 
Wordpress plugin for it, because it doesn't seem to provide that 
out of the box.

Do you track what people enter in the search box? That might catch people 
searching for something to see if there's a post about some topic as well 
as those searching for a specific post; if there are searches for topic X 
but hasn't been a post for it, that would be a sign that people are 
interested in X.
