Searching by department code can retrieve a class from the wrong department. I've noticed that this is particularly a problem with departments with only one character such as "I" (Informatics) and "E" (English). Below is a screenshot of a search for E 320 producing the grade distribution for ASE 320 as a result.

I believe the problem might lie in lines 77 and 87 in main.js as seen in the screenshot below.

Notice how cData["Course Prefix"] calls the includes() method. If the values of cData are strings then this line of code is checking whether the given department code is a substring of the query.

"E" is a substring of "ASE" which may explain why an ASE class appears when the user searches for E.

I would like to see the number of views that this page gets whether daily, weekly, or all-time. Just some metrics to show the popular use. This site has helped me and many others on several levels and I would love to see it grow.
