I'm trying to make a search based on my categories in a Cognito Form and it gives me a bunch of different things, but not all the entries of the searched categories.
The search function that was previously properly working seem to be off…

In a recent release, Cognito Forms updated the search system to more closely align with the experience users have come to expect for modern search engines. This means that it will split search terms and look for all entries that have each term entered somewhere on the entry.
Including support for searching by a phrase will be included in the next release. There is a card on the idea board where you can more closely follow the release of this feature.
