Search lists too many results

What’s The Bug?

This BR is specific for the issue that search (in Set/Collection as well as the global search) lists results that shouldn’t appear anymore, because the search string contains one character more than the Object’s name has.

How To Reproduce It

The Expected Behavior

Search should deliver exact matches on top.
– In my opinion, it can also deliver some “fuzzy” results (Levenshtein-distance 1 or 2 for example), but then not on the most top position, but deeper in the list of results and separated from the exact matches by a horizontal separator line.

Additional Context

As mentioned in my other BRs about problems with search, I write separate reports for each particular and very specific bug (no matter if there may already exist a thread) to make things for the devs as clear as possible, because Search has many bugs.

This report has been added to our issue tracker and received by the Development Team.

This issue has been fixed by the Development Team and will be implemented in an upcoming release.

It’s really hard to imagine that a note - taking software could have such a stupid search function.

I can’t believe that Windows OS that was rammed down everyone’s throat via OEM licencing with purchase of new laptpop/PC for decades had some really nasty bugs…for years. And that was a paying software.

AnyType is free, almost open source, and decentralized via IPFS. And it is in beta, and yes it has many bugs.

Unsure how your comment contributes to the conversation…

I believe that if you put the energy you spend on refuting users and closing topics into product improvement, you’ll achieve better results.
