This may be a crazy question , but if I wanted to collect all orchids that had the name "fairy" in it (or some other name) What kind of search engine would that be? Google, all the forums, every vendor?
What do you guys think?

OrchidWiz has that function.

When you search, you can specify 'starts with", "contains", "ends with", or an "exact match" (contains only that) for the string you enter.

By the way, for your example, there are 360 registered hybrids containing "fairy", from Cymbidium Airy Fairy to Phalaenopsis Yushan Fairyhood, but some are taxonomic synonyms like doritaenopsis and phalaenopsis.

The RHS came up with 248 hits:
The International Orchid Register / RHS Gardening

Just enter "fairy" in the grex field.
