Allow searching by disjoint substrings #92

Closed multimeric closed 3 years ago

multimeric commented 4 years ago

For example, if I want to find NYT Crosswords from April 2020, my intuition is to type NY Times April 2020 into the search bar. This doesn't work because downforacross is searching for that entire string in each title, and not finding it because it doesn't exist within a string like NY Times, Monday, April 27, 2020. But it's a very common technique to split each token in the search term, and return an result that contains NY, Times, April, and 2020. I believe this would be more powerful and intuitive.

This will be fairly straightforward once we get puzzlelists in redis
