more problems with @find

Install fresh Evennia according to the Getting Started guide.

Searching by Alias

@tunnel w = Hall of Testing;hall#1
@find hall

One Match(#1-#9):
Hall of Testing(#7) - src.objects.objects.Room

Expected.

@find hall#

Match(#1-#9):
No matches found for 'hall#'

Unexpected. Should match the room's alias 'hall#1' like below.

@find hall#1

One Match(#1-#9):
Hall of Testing(#7) - src.objects.objects.Room

Expected.

@find #1

Match(#1-#9):
Aegar(#1) - src.objects.objects.Character

Unexpected. Should this include the partial match for the 'hall#1' alias?

Searching by alias with multiple rooms

@tunnel s = Hall of Testing;hall#2
@find hall

2 Matches(#1-#12):
Hall of Testing(#7) - src.objects.objects.Room
Hall of Testing(#10) - src.objects.objects.Room

Expected.

@find hall#

Match(#1-#12):
No matches found for 'hall#'

Unexpected. Should return all partial matched aliases with 'hall#'

Room switch returns a non-room

@find/room #1

Match(#1-#9):
Aegar(#1) - src.objects.objects.Character

Unexpected. Should only return rooms.

@find hall#
@find is searching for keys that start with findtext and for aliases that match findtext. So hall# doesnt work and hall#1 works. Fixing it.

@find #1
This is the expected behavior. You are searching for object ID 1.

@find/room #1
This reflects a problem with arguments parsing. If searching for a object id or player, evennia now ignores the filters. We have 3 possible solutions:

1. filter results: @find/room #1 would return no results .
2. thrown error on the filter: @find/room #1 would say something like: Error: Searching for object id, filters not allowed .
3. Don't filter and let the user know that we're not filtering:

@find/room #1
Match(#1-#9): 
Aegar(#1) - src.objects.objects.Character
(Filter by room ignored while searching for ID - read help for more information)

I think we should opt for the later.
