"Query By" Parameters Resulting in Fewer Search Results
TLDR Jon encountered unexpected behavior with "query by" parameters. Upon checking the post request body by Jason, Kishore Nallan noted the issue originates from the typo match with "full stack". Suggested solution was setting split_joins_tokens: always.

05:45 PMQuery By parameters. I would expect that adding a new parameter would either not affect search results, or would increase the number of results. But when I add a parameter, I’m actually seeing fewer results. Can you help me understand why?

05:49 PMCould you open up the browser dev console, then repeat the same search again and then copy as curl the request sent to the
.../api/... endpoint, and then paste just the post request body here which has all the search params?Jon

01:33 AMIf you set the
split_joins_tokens: always then Typesense will always attempt to look for space as typo variations of the query and this will ensure that same set of results are produced with/without the shortDescription field.Jon
