I'm having trouble with filtering. I am using the same search throughout but when I filter by "sold: true" I get 20 results, when I filter by "sold:false" i get 67 results. But when I search with no filter it returns 56 results

I think this might just be the fuzzy query relaxation kicking in. Can you try setting drop_tokens_threshold: 1 and typo_tokens_threshold: 1 when making the queries? Basically Typesense expands the search universe to fetch more items when enough results are not found. This can also happen during prefix searches on very small prefixes like single char/two char tokens.

Would need more details. If you can create a small reproduceable sample dataset, please share that with me + query so I can investigate.

Understanding Search Result Variations with Filtering Parameters

SamHendley faced inconsistencies in the number of documents returned when adding more filter parameters. Jason explained it's due to Typesense limiting the number of variables checked for better performance. Increasing `max_candidates` or enabling `exhaustive_search` can help obtain all values.
