Tune named ROLLE

So… I ran into a tune called ROLLE in KS1C1856 (it's 76t), a hymnal that only has page scans and text authorities linked. I went to “Advanced Search” and tried to find out if there were any instances of a tune named ROLLE. Instead of giving me results for ROLLE, it gave me 410 hits including all tune names with ROLL regardless of what if anything was the next letter. I can uderstand why searching for ROLLE might, indeed probably would, bring up instances of Rolled, but I really can't imagine a good reason why ROLL CALL and ROLLING should come up. Sort of negated the whole point to an advanced search on the topic.

That is not a word that our system knows, so it thinks it may be a typo and gives you with results with “roll” and results with “rolled.” You can switch to the new search results page and sort by title. The R's are on page 4 and 5 of the results

I sort of get it. (There are other times when I slightly misspell a first line or fail to add “The” at the beginning of a hymnal title, though, and instead of trying to help it just says “No results.” or whatever the term is…

Could “Rolle” possibly be the author, Joshua A. Rolle for the tune “Resilient”. Other than that, I could not find a hymntune Rolle in all my hymnals and subsequent searches.
