Searching for love

Post by MDE »

It being Valentine's day, I thought I'd search for appropriate music. Putting the word "love" (with or without quotes) into the filter seemed to be the thing to do. One result puzzled me, however, until I spotted it was by the "Slovenia Choir". The way to avoid this (i.e whole word search only) is to put " love " (with spaces either side) into the filter. Don't know if it's worth noting this in the wiki, or if others think it obvious. Also, the letters "love" were not highlighted, which made it harder to spot why it was selected.
BTW the new wiki is a great improvement.

It is true that on the filtered albums only whole word matches are highlighted, I'm using a javascript library so to do anything different would require me to find another mechanism. If I made the filter search text always match whole words as well this would at least make this consistent, but sometimes I do want to match partial words, and I think others would too.
