Description

When using the autosuggestion to complete the search text to the full title of the dataset, the search (sometimes) returns no results. Shorter queries (based on for example one word of the title) do return the correct datasets. I am using Geonetwork 3.0.1

Research direction

Start by reproducing the search in GeoNetwork 3.0.1: use the autosuggestion to complete a dataset title, then compare the result with a shorter query. Trace the search entry point and determine why the full suggested title sometimes returns no datasets; done means the full title reliably returns the correct dataset.
