Gawq app for iOS: Search - a blank space after a search term negates valid results

 iOS 14.3 on an iPhone 8

Gawq app for iOS (version 1.0.8)

Date: 01/10/21

Description:

Here's a minor pet peeve with the search functionality of the Gawq app. If there is a single space entered behind a valid search term, categories like Topics and Channels are not displayed.

This is easier to show than to describe, so please take a look at the screenshots below.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. With a valid account - launch the app

2. Select the search option 

3. Select the input box under "Search the media"

4. Enter a valid search term like "Rolling Stone" with a single blank space trailing behind the term

5. Run a search - notice that Rolling Stone's channel is NOT returned

6. Run a search of "Rolling Stone" minus a single space

7. Note that Rolling Stone's channel is returned 

Result: The inclusion of a single space behind search terms results in valid Topics and Channels not being displayed. 

Expected: Many (all) users include a single space behind search terms in input boxes - the app should gracefully handle the inclusion of single spaces behind search terms 

Enter in a search term with no space behind the search term...

After searching for "Rolling Stone" without a space behind it, Rolling Stone's channel appears. This is expected behavior.

Now run a search for "Rolling Stone" with a single space behind the search term...

The channel for "Rolling Stone" does NOT appear. This is not expected behavior.
