Bug with the mod portal search

Post by schoos76 »

Hi guys,

i'm a bit confused: just was searching for "valve" in the mod portal and I see hits (with highlight) for 'value' and '"Vale"rian' see https://imgur.com/a/hhsstER for what I mean.

Not sure actually how this could happen. TIA for looking into it

That’s a feature called typo tolerance: https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/ ... _tolerance

It should prefer results with an exact match though, which is the case when I search for valve. The first two search results have exact matches and then it gets more fuzzy: https://mods.factorio.com/explore?query ... updated_at
