LRR not handling exact tag namespaces when searching

[ub333]

(Running LRR 0.7.7 in Docker)

Not sure if this a total edge case or intended functionality, but anyway: when searching any "male" namespace tag, LRR returns all "female" results as well. E.g. searching for let's say... "male:furry" will also return all "female:furry". This can be avoided by adding a $ and making it an exact search, but it's a little weird and fuzzier than how I've come to expect tag searching to usually work.

Anyway, just letting you know!

👋 As things are, I'd say it's kinda intended?
The search engine is fuzzy by definition unless you make it an exact search with quotes or $.
I didn't really look in detail as to how other implementations do it so it seemed logical at the time. 🤔

Making it so that the namespace part of a search must be an exact match is a reasonable enhancement request, I'd say.

I'll try to tackle this in the upcoming search improvement pass.

#555 fixes this: tag searches are now required to be exact and separated by commas.
I plan to eventually bring wildcard support back again if people request it. ✌️

small addendum: I added wildcard support back sooner than planned, but did take this into account.

tag searches will be fully wildcard, namespace:tag searches will only be wildcarded at the end (namespace stays intact).
You can use *namespace:tag if you want the old behavior for some weird reason.
