I’ve got ferret enabled for :name and :description. One of the items it should be indexing has a name of Flow Yoga searching for ‘Flow’ finds it but searching for ‘Yoga’ does not. I also have Elation Yoga in the database searching for ‘Elation’ finds it and searching for ‘Yoga’ also finds it. Anybody know why these might be acting differently to ferret? I’m using version 0.11.3 ---

It turns out that it’s related to the number of words in the name: In my prior example I should have been more specific: Flow Yoga Network doesn’t show up because it’s 3 words, but if I change it to just Flow Yoga then it _does_ index. Now why would ferret care about the number of words in the name field?
