Then it prints the results, one per line, to stdout as HTML table rows. But if no results were found, this program exits with a nonzero status. not the slay ending we wanted, but facts are facts 😭

🔍 Searching 🔍

Whitespace characters in PATTERN are treated as wildcards, whereas the SQL LIKE wildcard characters % and _ are not — they're taken literally. periodt 💅

Before searching, PATTERN is surrounded by whitespace wildcards so that it can match anywhere: beginning, middle, or end. As a result, if PATTERN is undefined, it becomes a whitespace wildcard and thereby matches everything. lowkey powerful ✨
