The difference between Soulbook and Soul book #27

Thanks, I also get it now. is there a way for the search to understand that someone typing soul book probably means to type Soulbook? And have the results appear either way.

I could try to make it to always additionally search by the search terms with no spaces, so if you search for "I want to eat ice cream" it will also search for "iwanttoeaticecream" but that will a) make searches slower and b) may return unexpected results.

hmmm, let Claude and I talk about this before implementation.

If there is a set list of these sorts of cases, we can hardcode those in - i.e. if "soul book" is a common thing people type, and you want to handle that specifically. I suppose we could get real fancy and add an admin interface for you to manage these sorts of search cases....

when prompted to think about how often this issue occurs, I am struggling to come up with other examples. But in general I'm thinking people could be not adding a space on any number of search terms.

I'm weight the implications of creating a process where "i want to eat ice cream" and "iwanttoeaticecream" are seen as the same.... and slowing down the search feature/undesired results. Don't want to slow things down too much but also don't want to not address this issue.

Also, I'm interested with the potential of getting fancy and adding an admin interface. I know these cases exist, just struggling to actively identify them.

what is actually do-able based on your time?
