Hello, I'm new here. I have a collection of products with an attribute to store the category path of each product. The category attribute values looks like this:

e5feca4f-267b-4e44-a5b7-7d4ca1f3c90d/4686092b-6c91-42cb-a47f-786c84608dfa|ParentCategory/ChildCategory

the structure is

{parent-id}/{child-id}|{parent-name}/{child-name}

. I'm facing an issue where Typesense doesn't return all matches when a given parent category id is provided, any idea why? For this search I'm using some filter queries parameters:

{
  q: "{parent-id}",
  query_by: "category.path",
  sort_by: "_text_match:desc",
  split_join_tokens: "always",
}

I'm using Typesense v0.23.1.

You want to try setting

max_candidates: 1000

I did see about the

max_candidates

attribute, but I have a question, whether when using

max_candidates

setting a value greater than the default (e.g.: 100 or 1000) it does not generate some impact and cost in processing and memory in requests.

It impacts performance - the higher that value, the more CPU cycles are needed.

Thanks you, I'll do a test using

max_candidates
