iOS 14.3: Apple Podcasts app for iOS: Searches for "True Crime Bullsh**" cannot locate the podcast

 iOS 14.3

Apple Podcasts app for iOS 

Unlike most people, I actually use the native Apple Podcast app on my iPhone. Although there are some bugs, it works decently enough, and I continue to use it.

I found an odd bug today, that I just had to write down.

Today I heard about a true crime podcast with the provocative name of "True Crime Bullsh**" I listened to an interview with the host of the show, and learned that the title is "True Crime Bullsh**"

This is what happens when I search for the "True Crime Bullsh**" podcast inside of the Apple Podcasts app:

This is the result for searching for "True Crime Bullsh**" in the app store. 

As a comparison, the Google Podcasts app for iOS has no problem find the same podcast...

Oddly enough, the Apple Podcast app will sometimes auto-compete the word "Bullshit" and then it finds the app!

This seems doubly bizarre, since the app was obviously presented as "bullsh**" per Podcast app rules set by Apple.

Here's a video of the problem:
