Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  2. Search for that player, either just the beginning or the full name (with wrong Capitalization and lower case)
  3. Watch it play out

:backhand_index_pointing_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

A Search function up to date with the most modern QoL features that are the basis in todays Internet environment, that can search for players that you dont fully know the name and capitalization off.
