Hey guys, I'm observing some behaviour that I don't really understand. I'm sending query like this:

q=cycling running enduro cyclocross road&query_by=categories

. In addition I am sending

prefix=false

. Categories is an array of strings. It would make sense to me that order within query does not matter but if I swap

cycling

with

running

I will get different number of results. What am I missing here?

If all tokens in the query are not found in any document typesense tries dropping tokens in the query until results are found. So order matters.

I see, so it drops first token and stops when any result is found?

Right to left and then left to right. Stops when results satisfy drop tokens threshold parameter

is there a way to achieve

give me documents having any of the tokens

behaviour?

No that's not possible.
