Odd DB behavior on specific games

Issue #4378 new
Quinn created an issue

There is a series of old DOS games from Sierra called Crazy Nick's Picks. When I use LaunchBox to pull data, it comes up almost correct for most of them (no apostrophe), but one was missing, so I went to the main DB to confirm, and got this result when I searched for the series using the search term, "Crazy Nicks Pick" (I couldn't recall offhand if it was singular or plural, and usually shorter search terms work as long as they are correct as far as they go): the site said there were entries, but then didn't actually show them. I checked this on every browser on my computer (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, Pale Moon, and Edge) and got the same behavior every time.

Searching for the complete title of one of the games, "Crazy Nicks Picks: King Graham's Board Game Challenge", resulted in the game being correctly pulled up and displayed. So did a search for "Crazy Nicks Picks", so apparently that missing "s" is really screwing something up.

This is not a huge bug as the overall system is concerned, but it does make searching for some titles harder, and might affect various titles with plurals, so I am considering it minor.
