I love when features like this just show up and I'm like "ooh!"

Great addition!

Both.

Even more confounding, I just tried on my phone. If I enter 'Meyerhofer' and search I get nothing. If I enter 'Marco Meyerhofer' and search then it works. 

Last name only searches clearly work, I've been using them for all my other searches.

My PC input language is Danish, not English, but that shouldn't make a difference, and I'm pretty sure my phone default is English.

Was that from PC or phone? I just tried from PC using "Marco Meyerhofer" and just "Meyerhofer", both with and without the umlaut, and got results from all four searches.

Same behaviour with this card https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/258339/cid/15923763/2015-16-HockeyAllsvenskan-HA-170-Erik-K%C3%A4llgren

If I enter Hockey, HA-170 and 'Kallgren'  as the search, I get no results. If I enter 'Erik Kallgren' then I get the card.

If I enter Hockey, card number 245 and 'Kallgren' as the search it works, as I get all his 2022 UD MVP cards, where the name entered does not have the umlaut.

Another limitation to be aware of with this search, it only locates cards that have the player named in the title, not cards linked.  For example I searched card number 112 for Trey Mancini.  Using the advanced search I get 4 results, but if I use the filter on Trey’s page I get 35 cards (he is linked to 31 base/parallel team cards in the 2023 Topps set)

I got 35 using the Advanced Search option...

Interesting.  If I put Trey Mancini for the name I get 35, but if I just put Mancini then I only get 4.
