i thought about that, but having multiple search plugins just for the
multiple versions of slack, would become redundant.
if the search result could possibly determine if search string contains
a valid version number.
because currently, if you search for 'rt2500', it returns for slack 11
and 12, but if you search for 'rt2500 12', it returns nothing.

basically i would recommend that be handled on the site, not by the
search plugin.
