Search bug in Mac 8.7?

Hi @jkratz,

I understand that when you're searching based on an email address, the search results include items that appear to not have the searched string. As a test, can you create a new item and copy over the details from one of these items? After deleting the older copy, does the new item show up in the search results?

I look forward to your reply.

Well, of course I can't replicate it tonight ;) So I guess false alarm. Very odd.

Hey @jkratz:

Definitely odd! Feel free to get in touch if you're able to replicate it again, and we'll be happy to dig in further with you. 🙂

OK it's happening again. Searching on an email and its showing results for at least several records that don't have that email listed when I check the history in the web version. v8 on the Mac is showing 64 results. Searching in the web version results in the correct items coming up and the list is 10 items.

Hello @jkratz, thank you for letting us know about this. I'd like to understand the issue a little better.

Here's a quick question to start:

When you search "jasonkratz@blah.com" and other seemingly unrelated items come up, do these items contain any portion of that email address? For example, jasonkratz, 'blah`, and so on? Or do they share no overlapping text at all?

We'll look forward to getting to the bottom of this! 🕵️‍♂️

Hi Peter, yes. It was only the first part...in this case jason@.

Hello @jkratz, thank you for the follow-up. This is expected given how search currently works, since it's searching multiple parts of the phrase:

jasonkratz + blah + com

rather than treating jasonkratz@blah.com as a monolithic unit. I hope that makes sense.

If you feel that this is detracting from the relevancy of your search results, let me know and I'll be happy to pass on that feedback. But I did want to let you know that this is consistent with the expected results of the search function at present.

Well, it makes sense if thats how its supposed to work but it doesn't make sense ;) I was searching for a full email, not just part of one and thats not how the old search worked at all nor does it work that way in the web UI. So in this case i could be searching on mailto:jasonkratz@blah.com and get a list back that has absolutely nothing related like mailto:jason@thisiswrong.com. Thats not how proper search should work. I'd understand if I typed in the three bits separately but not a specific email.

Let me give a specific use case. I have an email that i used lots of places that I want to replace with another one (lets say the original is mailto:jasonkratz@blah.com). right now in this scenario I'm getting back like 56 results that have nothing to do with that email and maybe 3 that do. I just want 3 results to see how many i've got left. I don't want to have to crawl thru 56 other items looking to see if maybe it was an alternate email, or a saved web form field or something.

+1 for bringing back the ‚old‘ way how search worked. Search should try to find what I have entered, no matter if it is a substring/part of o word. Furthermore it should not split search phrases on word boundaries that are than searched separately.

+1 Also bringing back the old search.
