low severityExa search API

Same query returns seemingly inconsistent relevance rankings or result orders across runs or configurations; results appear less relevant than expected.

Root cause

Perceived inconsistency often stems from using non-default parameters that limit result pools or from comparing across different search types (Fast/Auto/Deep) with varying latency/quality tradeoffs, rather than a technical bug.
