Straight up impossible for me to search for Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot". Some kinda of input cleaning strips out the I from "I robot", and just searches "Robot". "iRobot" does not get the results. And the search does not accept commas. Just some of the fun that comes with searching I suppose.
It also strips quotation marks, so can't search phrases at all.
I'm always sort of surprised by this stuff. Like, isn't 99% of the effort to get access to the database, how to search it efficiently, how to display useful snippets? Why go to all that effort and not take a useful search syntax off the shelf?
Can someone explain why using quotes is a thing that has to be added? Like, it treats words separately by breaking up the search string into tokens using spaces as a delimiter. Is the OP implementing this himself? I would have imagined there's a standard library for converting search strings into a structured query.
