I am using Search API module with Search API DB module to use drupal database for search indexing.

Issue is when I do a phrase search as following "test content" I get results having "test"(let's say nid:1) or "content"(nid:2) or "test content"(nid:3) in them but the content having exact match which is "test content" which is node 3 shows down in the search results.

I do not have any fields for sorting in my search view.

My question is why I am not getting search results on phrase match on top of those who have partial matches?

  • thanks @kiamlaluno, Yes and I realised it later after getting the answer from cedric_a . I was expecting the search results to consider phrase match, but got to know core search does not support it.

Database search doesn't support phrases searches as stated here by the maintainer of the module (cf. https://www.drupal.org/node/2043339#comment-7654017) :

Are you using the Database Search backend? In this case it's clear, because that backend currently doesn't support phrase searches due to technical restrictions. However, results should always contain both words, though not necessarily next to each other.

In order to sort your results, see this related question/answer I have no fields available for sorting with Search API sorts module
