yonlu 52632b470c feat: AND + wildcard Lucene queries, fuzzy library search, limit 50
Three search improvements:

1. MB queries now use AND + wildcard syntax instead of default OR.
   'the teenagers' → 'the AND teenagers*'. This eliminates common-
   word pollution: The Beatles no longer match because they only
   contain 'the'. The trailing wildcard on the last term preserves
   type-ahead behavior. Special Lucene characters are escaped.

2. mbSearchLimit increased from 20 to 50. Gives the ranking pipeline
   more raw material — with AND filtering there's less noise, and
   our name-match tiers + popularity reranking handle the rest.
   Final display is still capped at 15.

3. Frontend library cache now uses fuzzy matching with Levenshtein
   edit distance (max 2) as fallback. Exact substring match is
   tried first, then per-word fuzzy matching for words >= 4 chars.
   'florene and the machine' matches 'Florence and the Machine'.
   Pure JS, no API cost — runs against the in-memory library arrays.
