Troubleshooting Typesense Query Issues

Hi all,

currently I setup search for a web page with Typesense. I already have to server running and scrapped my page. There are 5327 documents added to my collection "antora-docs".
When I query the collection (either via web interface or Rest API containing a filter that is an asterix or a concret term) I'm not able to get any results back.
I added information about my collection, an example document and the multi_search body.

Anyone with an idea what's going on or what I can do to get results?

Collection information (5327 documents):

When i run a multi search I do not get any matches:

POST: /multi_search

            "filter_by": "version:=0.21.0"
        }
    ]
}

Response:

            "search_cutoff": false,
            "search_time_ms": 0
        }
    ]
}

Even if i query with an asterix, the response is empty. Anyone with an idea what's going on or what I can do to get results?

In the query I see "filter_by": "version:=0.21.0", but in your document you have:

"version": [
        "latest"
    ],

You’d need to specify the version in a meta tag

Thanks a lot Jason. Somehow, I misunderstood the concept of the version in this case ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
