12:03 AM{'q': 'quick todos', 'query_by': 'content', 'per_page': 50, 'limit_hits': 50, 'num_typos': 2, 'prefix': 'false'}One doc indexed into Typesense has the following content:
Fast TODOs... (there are also 1-2 other docs that somewhat match this query, but for the sake of this example, I'm focused on the Fast TODOs doc). This doc is not returned as a match. Is this expected behavior? If so, is there any way to make these partial matches get returned in the case of no better match being found?NOTE: with
{'q': 'todos', ...} the doc is returned as expected

exhaustive_search and drop_tokens_threshold? The docs mention that drop_tokens_threshold is ignored if exhaustive_search is turned onJason

Understanding Search Result Variations with Filtering Parameters
