Description

Hello,
first i want to gratulate you - this is a very nice piece of software.

My Issue ist easy: The wildcard search (id='*') Returns multiple results. This is a Feature not an error, but you are raising it as Error. Any way to get the table with search as result and not from the error Text?
Greetings

Research direction

Start by reproducing a JPL Horizons wildcard query with id='*' and trace where multiple results are surfaced as an error. Review the relevant JPL Horizons query and result-handling entry points; done means callers can access the returned table directly while preserving appropriate handling for genuine errors.
