Many mobile keyboards automatically include a space after each word, which affects the results when using "Query FCC Callsign" (and maybe other searches?) on RR DB on mobile.
If I search for "Springfield" on my mobile device, the search query is actually entered as "Springfield " ("Springfield[space]"). Only results that include that trailing space get returned, so "Springfield Highway Dept" would show up but "Town of Springfield" would not. Getting all search results that include "Springfield" requires manually deleting the trailing space.
It seems a fix should be relatively straightforward: just trim any leading or trailing empty spaces from search terms before submitting them to the search. This would improve usability for mobile users.
