Is there a chance to improve the search for "https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/{SPORTS_API_KEY}/searchteams.php?t={team_name}" ?

curently if I search with "SC Dnipro-1" it has results, but if I try "Dnipro-1" there are no results.

Can you guys improve that?

I will take a look, I think this was something to do with the slow indexes.

I see, do you have any idea if and how long such a fix might take?

I have also encountered another problem.

f"https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/{SPORTS_API_KEY}/searchteams.php?t=borussia dortmund"
returns nulll.

also:
f"https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/{SPORTS_API_KEY}/searchteams.php?sname=BVB"
return null.

This makes it very hard to use chatGPT to search for Teams. Meanwhile, the team is added as "dortmund".

So my question/request:
Is it possible to search in strAlternate ?

Also, just so you know, because of this hard way to search I ended up using your API way more.
As I try diferent combinations of the GPT provided results. So a 'weak' way of indexing might result in more costs compared if I would be able to get the right team right away. As of now I am also thinking of asking gpt to provide sports type and language, to find all sports for given.

I've fixed a few of the mentioned team names as a temporary fix.
