Community Finder Search

[RSS News]

Using the search option on the Community Finder has several things not working the way they should, which given the purpose of the Community Finder is a pretty big deal:

1. It is too strict with respect to case. Case should be completely ignored when searching. Examples:
- searching for 'pg' does not bring up 'PG' or 'Pg' entries.
- searching for 'LGBT' does not bring up 'lgbt' entries and vice versa.
- searching for 'rp' does not bring up 'RP' entries and vice versa.

2. It does not allow for partial matches within a word. Partial matches within a word should be allowed. Examples:
- searching for 'PG' does not bring up 'PG-13' or 'PG13' entries.
- searching for 'LGBT' does not bring up 'LGBTQI+' or 'LGBT-friendly' entries.

3. Just to make it explicit that it also needs to work, both of those above entries in combination do not work. Examples:
- searching for 'pg' also does not bring up 'PG-13' or any other combination of differing case and partial matches.
- searching for 'LGBT' also does not bring up 'Lgbt-friendly' or any other combination of differing case and partial matches.
