Replacing symbols with spaces in search queries with numbers

t-nelson wrote 8 years ago: 1

I've noticed some poor results when performing search queries with numbers adjacent to a period or dash that has been replaced by a space. My suspicion is that the fuzzy match algo is doing some numeric conversions that might have too strong an influence on the rank. There are some examples below. Any thoughts?

"Tosh.0" - q(tosh%200) : No results

"Attack No.1" - q(attack%20no%201) : No results

"Jake 2.0" - q(josh%202%200) : #3 result

"Unwrapped 2.0" - q(unwrapped%202%200) : #2 result

"Detroit 1-8-7" - q(detroit%201%208%207) : #5 result
