Hello @CaroFG!

Thanks for the report. Looks like the phrase search does not work with more than 3 words.
This is indeed a bug, we will do our best to fix it for v0.25.0!

@meilisearch/core-team 🔥 we should add tests (probably on milli's side) 🔥

It works when I search for "the four become his unwilling prey" (same movie, another part of the overview)...

So weird... thanks for this!

For people wanting a perfect working phrase search, use v0.21.0 in the meantime. Sorry for the inconvenience

Reopen this issue because it isn't fixed in meilisearch but only in milli.

Having a similar issue; searching for a single, distinct word e.g. "PCS5581337" doesn't return/find all documents with that content.

It returns some. Looking at the document contents for returning and non-returning documents, they seem to be structured very similarly, both having the search phrase as a standalone word of the list/array. Can provide more in-depth details if required.

Hi @alfonsrv. Your description makes me think of this bug too. The next release should fix it. You will be able to test it in advance when the release candidate is out. If all goes well, it should happen next week!

Fixed when milli has been updated, so in #1796
