Difference between "{single_word"} and {single_word} searches

[Alexandru Farcaş]

For example for this:
"mody" - I receive 62 results
mody - I receive >200 results
Which is the difference between this searches?

(*) - this happens also on docs.google.com, not only in api

I suspect it's because "mody" is an exact phrase, where as mody could be a portion of a word.

Hi Vic,

In many documents from search result I don't find mody at all.
(but modi exists - I've tried to test this with other examples but
it's not a rule)
It must be something else...

Hmm, alright let me investigate and I'll get back to you.

I noticed that as well... Normally there shouldn't be any difference
right ?

We're investigating this, but in the interim I'd recommend using "word".  This may have to do with how we parse queries.

So,for the expression: {word1 word2 word3}, I must search {"word1"
"word2" "word3"} to be sure that all the words are in the documents
result?

Still researching this.  Should have an answer for you in the next few days.  Sorry for the delay, and thanks for your patience.

Can you guys give me a user account (email address) exhibiting the issue, and the exact queries that you're using to reproduce?  Please send in a private email on this same thread.

Thanks,
