Performer Disambiguation Search

Extends every performer search/autocomplete in the Stash UI to also match the Disambiguation field, not just name and aliases.

Covers:

• The search box on the Performers page.
• The performer picker used when adding/editing performers on scenes, galleries, images, groups, markers, and the "Performers" filter criterion picker on any list page - since they all share the same FindPerformersForSelect query.

How it works

Stash's GraphQL schema already supports filtering performers by disambiguation via PerformerFilterType - it's just that the plain search box only ever sends a q (name/alias) search term, never a performer_filter.

This plugin loads a small script (ui.javascript) that wraps window.fetch and rewrites outgoing FindPerformers / FindPerformersForSelect GraphQL requests: when it sees a plain filter.q search term and no advanced filter already set, it replaces it with a performer_filter that OR's name / aliases / disambiguation together (all using the INCLUDES case-insensitive partial-match modifier), e.g. searching "cyber" returns every performer whose name, alias, or disambiguation contains "cyber" anywhere (such as performers disambiguated as "Cyberpunk 2077").

No backend/database changes are made - this only changes what the browser sends to the existing GraphQL API.

Settings

• Minimum search length (characters) - search terms shorter than this are left as a plain name search (default: 2 if unset/0).

To turn the feature off entirely, use the plugin's own "Disable" button in Settings > Plugins (no extra "enabled" toggle is needed).

Multiple search words

A search with several space-separated words only returns performers matching every word, where each word may be found in a different field (e.g. "alexis 1988" matches a performer named Alexis Love disambiguated "b. 1988"). Stash's own INCLUDES modifier would OR the words together, so the plugin splits the term into words itself and combines them with NOT/OR/EXCLUDES (De Morgan), since a single filter node can only carry one AND/OR/NOT.

Single-word searches are a plain substring match across name, aliases and disambiguation. Quoted phrases are not treated specially: the quotes are dropped and the words are matched individually.
