What happened?

When searching for "It" and "UR" by Stephen King, neither appear in the search results.

What did you expect to happen?

The book should have been the first result, since it is an exact match to the search term.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Add a book with a two-character title to an audiobook library (e.g. "It", "UR")
  2. Search for the exact title of the book
  3. The book is not in the results.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.26.0
