Thank you for pointing this out. To add to what @karterk said, we had upgraded just one of the 3 nodes in the Typesense cluster powering the home page demo to an internal RC build which has some new changes. So some queries were hitting that new node, and the others were hitting the old node, which is why the results were inconsistent.
I've now updated the demo to send queries to a node that's closest to the user, so it shouldn't jump around any more.
Man, I didn't even realize there was a demo until I read this. Looked all over for it. That "try it" message needs to be a lot more prominent, I think.
Good catch :) We're testing a new feature on a RC build that the demo is using. It has some quirks that we are working on: thanks for the feedback!
Looks busted if I just type "cake," but if I append a space ("cake ") then I get the same results again.
Good observation. Except if you type very fast, then it's all pure "cake" entries again.
