Well the code behind the bug is the fact that the spell parser does not pass any arguments to the spell from the command line, except character, victim, object, level and savetype. Therefore an object is found with the correct word in the objects alias but then the first alias only is used from the object. example cast 'locate object' staff as long as staff is the first alias in the current objects's alias list it will find staff's but if the object has an alias dragon staff it will switch to search and find alias that contain dragon. It is a problem hard to correct it seems from my first glance. If anyone has fixed this or knows how to do it I would welcome your help/advice or whatever you can offer.
