Issues with DropTokensThreshold in InstantSearch.js

TLDR John had issues with dropTokensThreshold in InstantSearch.js. Jason clarified it only affects searches with less than 10 results.

Is it possible to use the dropTokensThreshold with InstantSearch.js?

I tried

  additionalSearchParameters: {
    queryBy: 'queryby1,queryby2', //categories,
    sortBy: '_text_match:desc,numsales:desc',
    dropTokensThreshold: 10
  },

But seems like it was not taken into account...

That's the way to set it.

Could you check the network request to confirm that it was sent to Typesense

Seems like it is. I think it was actually taken into account, except it did not change anything in the results for the search I made...

It will only kick in when the number of results is less than 10 (the value you've set)

So if the number of results is > 10, then tokens won't be dropped
