Reading up on scoring theory used by fuse, this seems more like a feature(s). From the page https://fusejs.io/concepts/scoring-theory.html there are two possible culprits:

  • Field-length Norm: The shorter the field, the higher its relevance. If a pattern matches a short field (such as a title field) it is likely to be more relevant than the same pattern matched with a bigger field.
  • Distance, Threshold, and Location, text determine the number of words that are included in the search.

I tried if setting the search engine options to ignore the location and field norm, but that does not seem to work (or I am using this wrongly).
