TASK DESCRIPTION

Story: "As a user, I want to use an item like "Harvard Monthly" (Without knowing its ID)"

Problem: The user can't find "Harvard Monthly" because the "proper" title for the publication is "The Harvard Monthly" (no matches found at all)

Notes:

• Strangely it works with "Beatles" and "The Beatles" (Band)
• It works not well with "Zeit" and "Die Zeit" (Newspaper); There are matches found for "Zeit", but after clicking "more" 3 times, "Die Zeit" is still not there (But many others which include the string "zeit", like in "Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte" or "Zeitakubyō"
