Search system doesn't work properly
Reproduction
- Join the round as archivist or otherwise

Additional information
Look, I am writing a series of "bugs" into the Git Hub in hopes someone will actually figure out what they are. I've only tested Yogstation and currently testing other servers to see if there is a discrepancy. I can use "Jinochi" as an example here. Jinochi is an author and searching all genres by author with this name brings up a couple of books. However when browsing other genres, page after page after page, you can find that same author (the name ISN'T different in any way - it is the same author/name) with a book that wasn't brought up in your search. The same can be done for book titles too! I can use "how to" as an example in the same way "Jinochi" is as an author. I can find books with "how to" in the title by a general search through all genres, but dig through pages of book inventory and find ones that weren't pulled up by the search function.
It is rather frustrating because I don't even know if it is a bug or if the search function just sucks! Thank you for getting through this and I would love to help in any way that I can to get this resolved/ fixed. I love playing the game and playing the librarian especially! I have a series of "bugs" I'm submitting, so please contact me with any further questions or concerns. I want to help!
