Search Filter not working as expected

Author: Leo310Created Jan 17, 2024Updated Jun 26, 2026

Describe the bug

When I execute this code:

typescript

console.log('Filtering by sources', sources);
const results = await search(db, {
       where: {
            source: sources,
       },
       10000,
});
console.log('Got results', results);
}

I get the following console output: As you can see the first hit in the results already has a different source attribute (value: "README.md") than the filter (value: "To Add.md"). The filter was completely ignored.

To Reproduce

Initialize Orama as follows:

typescript

const recordManagerSchema = {
    id: 'string',
    source: 'string',
    updated_at: 'number',
} as const;

const db = await create({
            schema: recordManagerSchema,
            id: "testdb",
            components: {
                tokenizer: {
                    stemming: true,
                    stemmerSkipProperties: ['id', 'source'],
                },
            },
        });

Insert some data into this db with different sources
execute the code I already provided in the bug description

Expected behavior

As you stated in your docs: I expect to only get hits that include 'To Add.md' in their source attribute.
