# Indexing doesn't work properly

 * Hi,
 * the search doesn’t find all words. For example: When I search for “fax” it finds
   an attachment file called “Faxformular” but it doesn’t find a page with the word“
   Faxnummern” in the text. But it finds exactly the same page when I search for
   another word in the text of this page. Also, when I search for “faxn” the page
   is found. So the page is somehow in the index but the search doesn’t find all(
   parts of) words.
 * I tried this with other examples (other pages and other words) and faced the 
   same problems. I cannot see any logic behind what can be found and what cannot
   be found.
 * I made sure that the index was completely built.
 * With default WordPress search I don’t have these problems. But I’d like to use
   Relevanssi because of its ability to find attachment files.
 * Any ideas?

 * Enable fuzzy search always, and not only when the non-fuzzy search finds hits.
   That should help.
 * Also make sure you haven’t set the “Limit searches” option to a too low value;
   if you use it, the limit should be 500 or so.
