Searching for pages when building a menu not yielding expected results, by Cory

Just noticed a strange behavior when trying to search for a page to add in a menu.

I’m in Appearance > Menus, using the search interface under “Pages” (https://cloudup.com/cTZLMq9b3hw). I’m attempting to search for a page by entering the exact title of the page, but it doesn’t show up.

The title of this page is “International Services Office”, which I entered in the search. The results don’t include that page, but rather a bunch of other pages that don’t include any of those words in the title.

A standard search for this title from the front end comes up just fine.

Is there something different about the query used in this menu interface?
