🔖 Enhancement description

Problem
The current

getBookByName
query only supports exact name matches. If a user doesn't know the full title of a book, they cannot find it easily. This makes the interface less user-friendly, as users are required to remember the precise title to retrieve any information.

Proposed Solution
Implement a search query that supports partial name matching using SQL LIKE.

Repository: Add List findByNameContainingIgnoreCase(String name) to

BookRepository
. This utilizes Spring Data JPA's derived query methods to perform a case-insensitive partial match.
GraphQL Schema:
graphql
extend type Query {
searchBooks(title: String!): [Book]
}
Controller: Add a @QueryMapping for

searchBooks
that calls the new repository method.
Expected Behavior
Users can input a partial string (e.g., "Great").
The system returns all books whose titles contain that string (e.g., "The Great Gatsby", "Great Expectations").
The search remains case-insensitive.

🎤 Why should this be worked on?

Improved UX: Significantly improves the user search experience by allowing flexible queries.
Efficiency: Handles case-insensitivity and partial matching automatically at the database level rather than filtering in memory.
API Completeness: Brings the GraphQL API closer to production standards for search functionality.
