3 years ago This is likely related to fuzzy string search matching--with no space between "G" and "2110" we get the following results in what appears to be the desired order. Can you confirm that these results are displaying correctly, @pmanuelian @npicardo?
Whereas if we add a space between "G" and "2110" it seems like we get the less relevant results:
I'm wondering if changing the way the space is handled would display the correct search results.
Adjust search results so that "G 2110" (example) shows at top of list, as before, not buried out of order. The older screenshot shows G 2110 at top of list. The new search result makes G 2110 hard to find. Same problem with searching for an object, such as "12.1484" (a statue). The results used to display clearly.
Similarly, searching for a line drawing "EG023553" produces either far too many results from the search box on the home page, or no results in advanced search > ID number box.
