La recherche de posts donne des résultats incorrects/incomplets

[Tiaryn]

Hi!

We have a topic in Discourse where meeting protocols are posted and discussed. Every protocol post begins with “Protokoll der FSR-Sitzung vom dd.mm.yyyy,” where dd.mm.yyyy is, of course, the date of the meeting.

Searching for these posts does not always yield the expected results.
Example:
There is a post with this text:

Protokoll der FSR-Sitzung vom 25.07.2018
[…]

Search query:
/search/query.json?term=protokoll+der+fsr-sitzung+vom+25.07.2018
Result:

Protokoll der FSR-Sitzung vom 18.07.2018
[…]
Next meeting: 25.07.2018

The result is not incorrect because it contains everything I searched for, but it is missing the post where the search string exactly matches the post content.
Shouldn’t I receive this post as well, since it exactly matches the search string?

Unfortunately, the forum is private, so I cannot share the posts and search queries directly, but I hope you can shed some light on this

Greetings

Are both posts in the same topic? I think there is logic that rolls up similar posts found into a single result in the search because it is in the same topic (but I very well could be wrong)

Yes, the posts are in the same topic. You could be right but there would be no way to fetch the post I need via API requests in that case. That doesn’t seem right.

If you know you are searching within a topic why not use the “search within topic” API?

Hi! Thank you for your answer. It’s working that way!
Is this documented anywhere? I checked what my browser was requesting to build my URL.
