In https://github.com/iftechfoundation/ifdb/pull/276 after much back and forth, I reimplemented implicit search by TUID, so you can search IFDB for aearuuxv83plclpl and it will take you directly to https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=aearuuxv83plclpl
aearuuxv83plclpl
But it only works if the game has an IFID. For example, https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=2glbsr1n5uevrnhs has no IFID, and you search for 2glbsr1n5uevrnhs it returns zero results.
2glbsr1n5uevrnhs
This is happening because the preflight one-word search query looks like this:
select games.id from games join ifids on games.id = gameid where games.id = ? or lower_ifid=lower(?)
But that will only return results if it can find at least one IFID in the ifids table.
