I just discovered this issue last week. And it's fixed in a recent rc build. You will have to upgrade to that for the fix.

I'm really sorry for this question, but how can I upgrade to an RC build?

May I know how you deploy Typesense? Do you use Docker or Linux binary? If binary, where using DEB/RPM or tar?

Abdullah

01:49 PM

I'm deploying using Linux binary, Ubuntu

Kishore Nallan

Okay, here's the build: https://dl.typesense.org/releases/0.23.0.rc20/typesense-server-0.23.0.rc20-linux-amd64.tar.gz

You need to stop and start with the new binary. Please test on local/staging environment before upgrading production.
