Hashtag Behavior: #video vs #vid

Hey team πŸ‘‹

Quick heads-up on hashtag behavior I noticed in FluentCommunity (which btw β€” I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH).

When I click on #video, I’m shown posts tagged with #video β€” all good there.

But when I click on #vid, I’m shown posts tagged with #vid, and also ones with #video.

Feels like #vid might be matching substrings, like it's also pulling in anything that includes "vid" (like in #video).

Just wanted to flag in case that’s not the intended behavior!
Anyone else noticed this behavior too?

We are actually matching as %%like%% in MYSQL to match even the partial has tag.
