What happened?

When adding podcasts using the podcast/search function, one is unable to add new podcasts if they have the same name as an existing one.
eg Searching for "Ness", the ones with the green checkmark are all different podcasts but having the same name:
ness

I am subscribed to the "by Nettavisen og Bauer Media" one.
Clicking any of the other ones named "Ness" will send me to the one I'm already subsrcibed to instead of the clicked podcast.

What did you expect to happen?

By clicking the podcast named "Ness" with subtitle "by Vanessa Herrera", I expect to be presented with that podcast page. Instead I am presented with the podcast "Ness" - "by Nettavisen og Bauer Media" which I am already subscribed to. ABS seems to assume every podcast will have a unique name.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Using podcasts named "Ness" as example

  1. Search and subscribe to podcast "Ness" - "by Nettavisen og Bauer Media".
  2. Search and click on any other podcast with identical name but different subtitle, eg "Ness" - "by Vanessa Herrera".
  3. Observe that we are then presented with the podcast from step one rather then the one we clicked on.

I'm having a slightly different issue with the same code. If you change the name of a podcast, it no longer matches in the search results.

The matching should likely be done via the feed url rather than the name.
