My search result doesn't show them if I put for example: 1000000 (1 million).
Only the 1 million korona, pengo and adopengo, but not the 1 million b.-pengo.
However searching for P number, that really gives it. But why not the value?
I suspect the reason is because the value of the million b.-pengő isn't a million but a trillion (10^18), so a search with the numeral won't work. Bizarrely, a search on "Hungary million pengő" gives the pengő and the b.-pengő but not the milpengő, despite the word million appearing in the translations for those notes. Something is clearly not quite right.

1 b-pengo must be 1 billion pengo, what is 1000 000 000 pengo (because billion means milliard, what is 10^9 pengo). But even that way, if I put 1000000000 (1 billion), it gives me the 1x10^9 pengo, not the 10^6 b-pengo.
That's because the number 1000000000000 isn't in the entry. B.-pengő is translated as "billion pengő", not "1000000000000 pengő". The comments currently read (for 10,000 b.-pengő):
The denomination B.-Pengő meant one billion pengő, i.e., 10^12. Thus, this denomination was for 10^16 pengő.
Would it be worth changing them to something like this?
The denomination B.-Pengő meant one billion pengő, i.e., 10^12 (1000000000000). Thus, this denomination was for 10^16 pengő.
My only concern is that someone putting in "1,000,000,000,000" or "1 000 000 000 000" will probably stil come up with nothing.

Or you could just search on those P# numbers you already knew and you would've found them?
Or just do some more manual searching before asking to add these notes? It's not that hard to find them.
10^6 to me does not make sense, it doesn't say it on the note. 10.000 B-Pengo does say so on the note and if you search for this it will find it.
Why doesn't 10^6 make sense for searching for 1 million b-pengo? Well, I already found them with P-s, but putting eighteen zeros... it's just not easy to guess that how many you need exactly. For me. Maybe just for me. But because I tried it with 6+9 zeros when 6 hadn't worked.
I think you're absolutely right that searching for these notes is a challenge. I think the best we can do is to ensure that anyone with one of these notes can find it by typing in what's on the note, both in word and numerical form. I'll propose some changes and then we can test it again.

10^6 or whatever doesn't make sense, because it's not written on the note and it causes more confusion figuring out the number behind the ^ than just writing in the search bar what is on the note. You already had the confusion yourself, because of the different ways a billion is used over in the USA and the UK and the rest of Europe. I don't see the needs for changes when you can simply find the note if you type what is on the note and in the case of one of the notes mentioned you could've written 10.000 B-Pengo and it would've found your note. And in case you already know the P# numbers then you had another option to search for and it would also have found your note. And if not that you could still just find it manually by going to the Hungarian Pengo banknotes and you would've found it in a couple of clicks.
Thank you for trying to teach me what exponentiation is, however I do know this, no worries. The point was was Ceh also mentioned already that a billion doesn't mean the same everywhere, so you would not find what you were looking for if it was possible to search like that. But if you just write what is on the note then everyone searches in the same way and we all find what we are looking for. Easy like that.
