Issue
The search preview dropdown (that appears as you type) would show different results than the top results on the full search results page. This inconsistency was confusing and made users question the accuracy of search functionality.
You Might Be Asking:
- Why are my search preview results different from the full results?
- Which search results are correct?
- How does search ranking work?
Solution
Search result consistency has been improved to ensure the preview dropdown and full results page use the same ranking algorithm and data. The fix addresses: - Synchronized search indices between preview and full search - Consistent ranking factors applied to both views - Same filtering and permissions logic - Proper refresh of cached results
Search now provides: - Identical top results in preview and full page - Consistent ranking across all search contexts - Real-time index updates reflected in both views - Proper handling of permissions-filtered results
Additional Notes
Fixed in version v0.3.11. The search preview dropdown shows a limited number of results (typically top 5-10), while the full search page shows paginated results. The top results should match between both views.
