Search does not return articles if you put words not in the article

This is not a coding question. This is post is for FW Dev Forums feedback.

If I search for “modal” I get 44 articles
If I search for “modal receive” I get 4 articles
If I search for “Modal receive unrelated” I get 0 articles

Default sort is relevance

Shouldn’t search return articles matching all words but sort by the most relevant (where I guess relevance is determined by count of matching words or maybe a more intelligent algorithm)?

Its not uncommon to come up with no matches because one of the words I am thinking might be present is not.

Here is a good real world example I just found.

I asked this: Return value from serverless app webhook?

I did search before hand but must have included one term too many. For example:
Return_value_from_serverless_app_webhook__-App_Platform-_Freshworks_Developer_Community

But fortunately someone was able to refer me to this article which answers the question:
How to return the response from $request.post back to the caller in onExternalEventHandler

If you notice, just including the word “value” in the search caused the result not to be shown even though two words matched perfectly.
