By Name

For lists where every item is a whole name, such as a line-up typed as text, look the names up instead of linking them. A name matches an entry's title or one of its other names, ignoring case, but only in full: "Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts" won't find Neil Young.

{% set names = entry.lineupText|split(',')|map(name => name|trim) %}
{% set found = craft.namecheck.findAll(names) %}

{% for name in names %}
    {% set performer = found[name] ?? null %}
    {{ performer ? tag('a', { href: performer.url, text: name }) : name }}
{% endfor %}

craft.namecheck.find('Jesus and Mary Chain') looks up a single name. Entries set to Never aren't found. Only where it's related doesn't apply here, since a name in a list is never an everyday word.
