Hiho,

I am running v3.18.2 with the search plugin (also v3.18.2).

If I am seaching for a keyword, the first result is highlighted an correct. But there are more results which do not have the key word in their text. I also can search for a random phrase like "qwertzuio" which is in non of the sites but there are also results shown.

I faced the same issue with v3.17.2.

Any idea what causes this and how to fix this?

Kind Regards

I too found that the search results didn't always appear as expected. Looking at the plugin code, I found that it uses fuzzy matching, see file bl-plugins/search/vendors/fuzz.php

If you want to reduce the number of results then you can make a small change to the plugin code in the file bl-plugins/search/plugin.php

Code: Select all

$fuzz = new Fuzz($cache, 100, 1, true);
change 100 to the maximum number of results that you want returned.
