User request: make 'Tom Tugendhat' an effective search term
A user writes:
Firstly, thanks so much for the work you do - it's vital to democracy in the UK.
One quick suggestion - add "Tom Tugendhat" as an alternative name option for Thomas Tugendhat, so he shows in search results:
https://www.theyworkforyou.com/search/?q=Tom+Tugendhat <-- Currently does not return him
ie. implement it in the same way that appears to have been done for Steven Baker - he comes up if you search for "Steve Baker"
We don't do anything clever here. Steve Baker comes up because Steve is a substring of Steven. e.g. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/search/?q=Thom+Tugendhat works. This is a duplicate of https://github.com/mysociety/theyworkforyou/issues/72, it is a long standing issue.
