A couple of questions/suggestions:
1. It doesn’t appear that searches include the slug, so we can’t, e.g. search for the artwork for a particular book. I’ve tried all of and pieces of several book names, and none of them turn up in the results.
2. In order for tags to be meaningful in search results, they should probably be searched as whole words. For example, if we search for “male”, we specifically want entries that have “male” tags, not “female.” And so on. Doing “contains” searches for everything else might be OK, but it doesn’t work well with tags. (And, really, being able to search on tags exclusively, at least as an option, would be a nice long-term goal, maybe.)

While adding an item to the artworks DB today, I noticed we have a duplicate entry for an artist:



Neither look quite right (NACOAF). It's "Frederic" (no "k"), and we wouldn't want "Lord..." (with inverted names!).

(I've already fixed the two faulty "Frederick"s in the corpus.)
