New VAT registration online - Is it really this bad!

So a member of staff used the new online VAT registration process this morning.  The activities box has to be completed and in this case was for a sheep farmer.  There is no drop down facility, so you have to guess what to enter.  Tried "farming activities" - no good - tried "sheep" - no good - then luckily tried "farm".  That then showed a heading with a variety of activities including "sheep".  Is the search function really that bad that it did not pick out "farm" in "farming" for the heading or "sheep" as a sub-heading?  I can see this being a nightmare in the future trying to quess exactly the word the programmers have used to make up the list.
