Community search engine changes search terms

I apologize if this is the wrong forum but I am a newbie and the Help forum does not allow me to post for some reason.

In the Spotify windows app, I tried to find the band "GTR" that includes Steve Howe. Some results for Steve Howe were returned but no GTR. A Google search for "Spotify GTR" brings back results including a photo of GTR with an ad prompting to start a Spotify subscription..

When I try to search in the Music Chat or Rock Stars forums, the search box on the page changes the search terms I enter, even if I use double quotes. Example:

"Steve Howe" is changed to "Steps now"

"GTR" is changed to "got".

Note: this occurs on the actual forum page, not the overall search box at the upper right corner of the screen.

So I guess this is two questions: (1) where is GTR? (2) how to prevent the search engine from changing search terms?

thank you
