Using the Advanced Search function.

Put in Sport = Football, Card Number = 12, Player Name = Galloway returns 13 cards

Put in Sport = Football, Card Number =12, Player Name = Joey Galloway returns 15 cards

The 2 extra cards in the 2nd search are not actually football cards, they are from a Multi-sport set (1996 Classic Assets set).

So why does one 'football' search find the cards, when the other does not simply by changing the name input ?

Without knowing the backend, I would say given a name input, "Joey Galloway", the search attempts to find a profile (PID) within the sport, "Football". In the second case, it does this successfully, therefore it displays cards for the Football player Joey Galloway. Since the Multi-Sport cards are linked using the PID for Joey Galloway (which exists under Football), then that is why they are pulled into those results.
