Inconsistent search results

#1 Post by joby_toss »

Hi, Andrew!

When I use the Search field on the front page, sometimes I get results only from the database repository, sometimes I get results from both the database and the forum (the way I prefer).

I tend to use the search field with [@]query to see if an app was already added (but private) and to see if there are any forum mentions. At first I didn't notice the lack of forum results and I was sure there were no forum mentions of that query. It took me a while to understand why I was mistaken in a few cases.

Check the video below that illustrates what I'm saying:



Thanks!

I apologize for the late reply.

I was indeed able to replicate the issue, but unfortunately, I am currently on an extended family holiday, so fixing this may take longer than usual.

Please be patient! :D

@joby_toss: I had a hunch as to what's causing the issue, and make a quick fix to try to resolve it.

My own testing seems to show that the problem is gone, so if you do encounter this again, please lemme know.

Thanks!
