For find command, specifing find alex returns alex

However, for delete command, specifying delete n/alex does not delete alex

User guide does not mention how strings are processed for delete command, and inconsistent parsing of strings can cause users to get confused

Team's Response

There is a misunderstanding in the find and delete command. It is stated in the find command that it is used such that "Persons matching at least one keyword will be returned", meaning that the full name is not required for the find command. (only the KEYWORD is required) However, for the delete command, matching the exact NAME is required, as mentioned in the User Guide.
