This actress's/ https://mydramalist.com/people/3684-lin-brigitte  / alternate name (Brigitte Lin) does not show up during search. I tried copying and pasting her name from the page to make sure there are no special characters or typos in my search.

I just typed in her name Ching Sia Lin, and she came up in the search box. Is that what you mean??

No, I meant her alternate name 'Brigitte Lin'. This is how her name looks on most of western websites + it's been added to her actor page as 'a.k.a' yet it doesn't show up during search

ah yes it doesn't, and there are others where the known as can be searched with, like Barbie Xu.

it is odd that her first 2 alternate names can be searched on successfully but not the last one.   I double checked the names  in the page info to make sure there were no leading spaces or afterwards, but everything looks fine.   Looks like one for @Ji-N to solve.

I just found out that searching by native title (大轰炸) doesn't show any results. Seems to be the same problem.

This bug is still not fixed, and people are still not showing up when you try to use some of the names from their "aka" field on their profile.

Examples:

1. https://mydramalist.com/people/47745-wang-yue (only the last three in the aka work)

2. https://mydramalist.com/people/48935-luo-tian-shu (only her kanji name works)

3. https://mydramalist.com/people/48981-jiang-si-da (none of aka work)

4. https://mydramalist.com/people/2528-chang-stephanie  (some work, most don't)

same problem with this profile: https://mydramalist.com/people/50181-liu-ci-xin (first two alternate names do not work, all the others do)
