Magazine search doesn't work

I read a lot of literary magazines and some of them are available on Storygraphy, specifically Clarkesworld and Uncanny. But searching "Clarkesworld Issue 211," for example, never turns up that issue. I usually have to scroll through all of the issues to find the one I'm looking for.

I've experienced this with a podcast, also. Nadia replied to explain it was likely due to the "Not a Book" status. Apparently "Not a Book" entries default to an exact search rather than the regular search. Perhaps these magazines and comics are running into the same issue?
Here's a link to my bug post about it: https://roadmap.thestorygraph.com/bugs/posts/results-missing-from-search
I've experienced this with comic series as well, esp for something like Saga or Preacher where there are the individual releases and then the collected volumes (which is what I read). I mainly read these before the barcode scanner so it may be easier to find the right one, but trying to find it in the regular search or edition search is really hard.
