Search is sharper, and the catalog is cleaner

Search got a quality pass focused on the moments where a collector expects the right book to simply show up first.

Relevance by default

Text searches now use a relevance sort that understands title matches, volume numbers, common aliases, and fuzzy matches. Typed searches keep their explicit sorting behavior, but ordinary keyword searches should feel much less random.

Cleaner autocomplete

Pressing Enter now searches unless you have intentionally selected an autocomplete suggestion with the keyboard. Changing the input resets that keyboard intent, so stale suggestions do not hijack the next search.

Better catalog hygiene

Publisher names are normalized across sources, default search starts with the major comic publishers, and obvious non-comic PRH products are filtered out of the catalog load path.
