Search bar still has some major issues

Some changes have been made somewhat recently to the search function, but there's still a lot of room for improvement, and it's ruining spaces discoverability while not fixed.

  1. Typing in the name of the account should show all spaces published by that account. This is a no brainer really. Imagine you have a brand like Netflix with the account name "Netflix" and they have multiple spaces. Currently, if the brand doesn't stamp their brand name on every single space's title, it won't appear when searched for, which doesn't look good at all and forces spaces to look like "Netflix - Money Heist (by Netflix)". In every other platform, when you search for the creator's name, it shows their content.

  1. Special characters. Atm, having special characters in our title is straight up sabotage, since typing the title without them doesnt show your space. So imagine, a space called "Café" won't appear when you search for "Cafe", which is terribly limiting for everyone involved, not only those who do have accentuated characters, since we often dont use them when searching, but specially for those who dont even have these characters on their keyboards.

  1. Whats up with tags? They used to be searchable (not completely, because we had to type in the # as well, but at least they kinda worked). Now it seems that they only work when you go in a space and then actually click on that tag, by showing you other spaces with that tag. Why not actually implement tags into normal search? As in, if I have #inclusion on my tags, searching for inclusion should display my space, right?

Please look into it.
