Typesense Error: "Only up to 3 sort fields allowed" When Combining Restaurant/Menu Item Searches Context: We have a

searchGlobally

endpoint that calls two Typesense searches: 1.

executeRestaurantSearch

2.

executeMenuItemSearch

Problem: - ✅ Both service calls work individually (tested by commenting out one at a time). - ❌ When called together, we get a

400

error:

"Request failed with HTTP code 400 | Server said: Only upto 3 sort fields are allowed."

async searchGlobally( @Args() { params, location, maximumDeliveryTime }: SearchEngineSearchDefaultMenuItemRequestDto ) { const restaurantSearchResponse = await this.searchEngineService.executeRestaurantSearch(params, location, maximumDeliveryTime); const menuItemSearchResponse = await this.searchEngineService.executeMenuItemSearch(params, location, maximumDeliveryTime); // ... return combined results } Suspected Cause: - The

params

object passed to both services is shared/mutated, causing unintended sort field accumulation. - Example: If

executeRestaurantSearch

adds 2 sort fields and

executeMenuItemSearch

adds 2 more, the second call might inherit the first’s sort fields. What We’ve Tried: 1. Validated that each service works in isolation. 2. Confirmed that

params

is not explicitly modified in the controller. Questions: 1. Has anyone encountered this "3 sort fields" limitation in Typesense when chaining queries? 2. How can we ensure

params

(especially

sort_by

) is isolated between service calls? - Should we deep-clone

params

before passing to each service? - Or is there a configuration in `executeRestaurantSearch`/`executeMenuItemSearch` that might be appending sort fields?
