Find allows for user to input exactly the same name they want to find #12

In this case, find John Doe and find John Doe Doe Doe Doe does the same thing, however I believe there should be some documentation or check to not allow for "John Doe Doe Doe" as it is just a repeat of finding the word Doe

Team's Response

The command behaves exactly as we define in the UG. The situation that has occured is a result of extreme user behaviour.

According to the website:

if a problem is caused by extreme user behaviours, ie: If the problems can only happen in case of deliberate sabotage, it should not be considered a bug.

Furthermore, suppose we allow for some extreme user input, such as the inclusion of names: John Doe, John Doe Doe, and John Doe Doe Doe as seen in your screenshot, if we were to restrict duplicate terms, only John Doe as an acceptable search term, but John Doe Doe, and John Doe Doe Doe becomes invalid search terms. This should not be the case, given that the latter two names are valid entries in our address book.
