From a patron:
A List search result is only given if the exact, full name of a list is used in the search. Searching on words that are only part of a list name returns "No results found."

Evidence / Screenshot (if possible)

Relevant url?

https://openlibrary.org/search/lists

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to ... https://openlibrary.org/search/lists
  2. Do ... enter a partial list name, for example, https://openlibrary.org/search/lists?q=banned
  • Actual: only exact matches returned
  • Expected: any list containing search term should be returned

Details

  • Logged in (Y/N)?
  • Browser type/version?
  • Operating system?
  • Environment (prod/dev/local)? prod

Proposal & Constraints

If this cannot be adjusted, maybe a tip about using wildcard search would be useful. For example https://openlibrary.org/search/lists?q=banned*
