Api Search filename giving incorrect results

Im trying to use Sportscanner to help update metadata for Formula 1. Everything is working fine for FP1,2,3, Qualifying and Races however there's an issue with Sprint and Sprint Shootout.

I have my naming setup to name the Sprint file Formula_1_2023-07-29_Belgian_Grand_Prix_Sprint
And the Sprint Shootout to Formula_1_2023-07-29_Belgian_Grand_Prix_Sprint_Shootout.

The issue is that the api request for Formula_1_2023-07-29_Belgian_Grand_Prix_Sprint returns both the Sprint and Sprint_Shootout in the json. I have a feeling that the metadata manager doesnt know how to deal with this so applies the first option in the returned json which is the Sprint_Shootout data for this item even when its named Formula_1_2023-07-29_Belgian_Grand_Prix_Sprint

Am I missing something or is there something that can make the filename more specific for getting the correct metadata for Sprint Races (Formula_1_2023-07-29_Belgian_Grand_Prix_Sprint)

Hmm yeh that would make sense as it looks for the string and both events contain that string.

I'm not quite sure what the answer is other than maybe renaming the events on the site to be unique.

Yeah this was my issue. I think the only remedy is to rename them. Happy to spend the time doing it as its only the last few years there’s been sprint races. Just not sure how. Is there a way to request this?
