[Navi Search] Searching for trackables does not work for trackables starting with "GT" #2654

Closed GitHubberJS closed 2 months ago

GitHubberJS commented 2 months ago

Describe the bug

Searching for trackables does not work for trackables starting with "GT". If I enter a trackable staring with GT a link is created to find a geotour instead. Example: if I enter in the search area the code GTXYZ the link created becomes "https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/gtxyz". As this is not a "valid" geotour name for Groundspeak the server answers with a "error 404: DNF" message.

If I turn of the little helper in Tampermonkey and I search for trackables with the "native" web page, the same code finds the travel bug I was looking for.

Remark: GTXYZ is not a real example but is just given to show what I mean. I can provide a real code but with this you would be able to "track" the trackable which might not be the right idea to do.

To Reproduce

No response

Expected behavior

Instead of looking for a geotour I expect that a trackable is found. ;-)
