    Some films have very short titles. For example "M" (1931), "Z" (1969), and "If" (1968) are all on the "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" list. Jellyfin searches for partial string matches, so the movies that show up for a search for "M" is quite extensive. There are less dramatic examples, too, that probably hit a bunch of people. How many films have "Star Wars" in the title besides "Star Wars" (1977)?

    The simple fix is to show any exact matches first, then the rest of the list. I would like to request that as a feature.

    Also, afterthought, can punctuation be treated as a space for search so "M A S H" would find "M*A*S*H"?
