The Problem
Users faced two main issues:
- Short Names Didn’t Work: Two-letter last names were blocked due to a minimum character rule.
- Full Names Failed: Typing a full name returned no results, even when the individual parts matched.
These flaws meant frustrated users and missed connections.
What We Fixed
Smarter Matching
We rewrote the search logic so it could handle two-letter names—now providers like “Li” or “Wu” show up just fine.
⏳ Better Timing
The search now waits 1.5 seconds after the user stops typing (or triggers instantly with Enter). This prevents older, slower requests from overwriting better results.
Full Name Parsing
Typing a full name like “Sarah Lee” now gets split and matched across both first and last names.
Results That Matter
✅ Users now get the right results—no matter the name length
✅ Search is faster, more accurate, and easier to use
✅ Full name queries now behave as users expect
