Searching on companies with punctuation in the names needs to be more flexible #689
Comments
Test cases:

We need to get this fixed ASAP. At minimum we need a "Can't find what you are looking for?" (beside "xx result(s)" that explains the idiosyncrasies of OrgBook searching. Probably both. I'll look at writing some text. @amanji @andrewwhitehead @wadeking98 -- suggest a meeting to discuss this. |
"ASAP" means lets get this on the list to be fixed as a priority. Not as in "today!!". :-) |

Current, any time a business has punctuation in the name, the searching must be exact. For example, to search for `H.L.F Images", you have to use the punctuation to find it. Using "HLF" or "H" or even is not sufficient.
To correct this, we need to do three things:
Provide a way to do searching that includes punctuation. Perhaps a way to trigger fuzzy search or something.
Add a "Search not working?" (or something -- "Search Help"?) button near the search box that pops up guidance on what to do if you can't find the entity you are searching for. It should include at least advice on how to deal with punctuation, and should also give guidance about "Perhaps you have not registered your business with BC Registries". Some text I use for that:
