Problem
Using the module filter on the module list page a module can only be found by system name if the description ends in a dot or other word boundary separator. This is caused by the fact that we concatenate together the module description and machine name without adding any spaces. Therefore the Regex in Drupal.behaviors.tableFilterByText showModuleRow
which uses word boundaries only recognizes the word if the description contains a period to end the sentence and make the machine name its own word.
This is why for example searching for "dblog" works currently but searching for "yoast" doesn't show the Real-Time SEO module in the 8.x-2.0-alpha3 release.
Proposed Solution
Make the showModuleRow
slightly more accurate by ensuring the values of the different possible search sources are separated by a space.
