BUG: split not behaving correctly

[Oliver-De-Fusco]

Version (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Browser Firefox
• Web Clipper version: 0.9.7

Describe the bug

split does not split letters out when used after first and instead I have to use split:""

Expected behavior

What did you expect to happen?

If author name is "June" then It should give "J" not "June" when using just split

URLs where the bug occurs

I started with the FT then tested on other sites and random articles.
