Did the search/index change in 4.2 PUI?

[Celia Caust-Ellenbogen]

Hi folks,

We started migrating to 4.2 but have paused our efforts because we noticed a difference in the PUI search results from 4.1. Have others noticed this? Is it an intentional change to improve relevancy, or just a bug in this release?

More specifically, here is a discrepancy I noticed... 

In 4.1, with a search term and a bunch of filters applied, I got two results. In the second result, the search term ("Howland") does not appear anywhere in that AO's title or notes. However, the search term does appear in the ancestor metadata ("Howland family papers"), so I'm sure that's why it's coming up in search results.

Are other people noticing this discrepancy? Is it an intentional change? An error in 4.2? An error in our instance/implementation? Something customizable in 4.2 that we can tweak if we want to? 

I would appreciate hearing from other folks about this!

Here's 4.1

Here's 4.2, with the same search and filters
