Hello! I’d like to bring to your attention that after recent updates to the site, the player search has become less efficient. Specifically:
1. A single search now returns no more than 30 results.
2. The alphabetical order of the results is gone.
3. As far as I understand, it’s now impossible to find a player by two or three letters, while three-letter last names are very common (for example, Lee, Dod, etc.; Tommy Ho can only be found by his full name).
4. It’s also impossible to find a player by their last name and first initial if they also have a middle initial. E.g., searching for “A. White” returns results like “A. White” and “T.A. White,” but not “A.G. White”. This was previously the exact opposite, and it would be great to combine the previous and current options so that the same search for “A. White” would return all three results.
5. Results now also include last names/first names that contain last names/first names from the search. E.g., the query “Bell” returns results like “Campbell,” while the query “Clint” returns results like “McClintock.” This is debatable, as it could, on the other hand, find players with double last names or players with last names close to the ones you search (like “Carroll” – “O’Carroll”). However, it’s probably better to eliminate cases like the second example, where a word in the query is the middle of the returned result. Because if someone searches for a player using the query “Clint,” a player with the last name “McClintock” is unlikely to be relevant and would clutter the results.
I hope these issues are resolved, as I believe this would help many site users. Thanks in advance!
Regarding point 4, I’d like to add that a similar problem exists with full names. For example, Reginald Arthur Gamble can be found by searching for “Arthur Gamble,” but not “Reginald Gamble.”
