Why does the value of my search box appear in Statistics?
This text may be entered in your search box as "value" and not as a "placeholder". This can cause searches to be performed with that value. To avoid this, the text should be introduced as a "placeholder".
Why am I getting unexpected search results?
Doofinder automatically determines the best query type (exact match, broad match, or fuzzy) based on how well your indexed content matches the search terms. When Doofinder shows results with only some search terms (match_or) or approximate matches (fuzzy), it means your content isn’t matching well enough for an exact match.
Doofinder prioritizes showing SOME results over NO results and match_and will retrieve only results containing the search terms. The query type is determined by result quality.
