Wondering about the search result logic - with many search terms we get more search results when we use longer, more specific terms. For example “wednesd” gives 130 results, but “wednesday” gives 186 results. What parameters might affect this?

Smaller prefixes can match on more words than a full word. As for more terms in the query, if we don't find an exact match we drop tokens in the query to surface more matches.

When inspecting the results that appear with the longer term, there is content that should be matched even with the shorter term. That seems weird.

Can you provide an example? Feel free to DM.
