Team's Response

Hello thank you for your feedback, however for our find-genre feature u must type in the full genre when searching (advanced user method) based on your screenshot, it would appear that both books are stored under 'lol' genre. when commanding find genre lol LOL, the book categorised under lol lol will show only if the books are stored under 'lol lol' genre as we are finding based on genre not the title of the book thank you! hope this clarifies :)

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I understand how the find-genre command works now. It has to be the exact genre keyed. However, I believe it should still be a very low severity bug as instructions are not clear in the user guide which should state that the genre has to be keyed in exactly.
Besides, there can be more confusion due to the discrepancies in instructions in the user guide. For both the find-genre and find-author functions, the user guide instructions are similar, both not stating that the command has to be keyed exactly, or that the command searches for all CONTAINING the keyword, as attached
Find-author:

Find-genre:

However, as seen below, the find-author returns all books with author containing the keyword (since I set author as me, but when searching m the author returns too)

Hence due to unclear information and discrepancies in return results despite both having the same instructions in the user guide, I believe this should be a bug as it can confuse many users.
