I would contend that it *is* broken, because it doesn't DWIM (I can see people pouting already), and that there should be an implied $ on the end of any search-string, since dns become more specific to the left. I don't see an argument in favour of free-form searches in this database. Spoof entries like these, however, are an argument against them.
