When I search for AD&D I get results back however if I try just D&D I get no results yet there are articles with just D&D as well as those with AD&D.

Am I missing something?

I have also tried *D&D and D&D*

I'm not sure. I suspect the problem is how short the search term is. There's a lower limit to the number of significant characters in the search term.

I'll ask Dex about it.
