A sample search shows it simply does not work.

Here is my example:

query: gazdanov gaito (a russian writer).

the first article with Score:0.7382957 is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardno,_Gryfino_County

which has absolutely no relevance to the query. the main article does not even appear in the output.

Oh wow this is such an interesting case. I wonder if it's because of the embedding model used here.

If I search for Leo Tolstoy it works well, but "Amor towles" doesn't lead to the right page.

oh it looks it lists good results only when correct order and capitalized `Gaito Gazdanov`. we will check with other embedding models.

hello. we fixed the issue, you can try again.
