[Evergreen-dev] Debugging Relevancy sort and keyword search

[Morgan, Michele]

Hi Josh,

Have you seen this Launchpad bug?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1942467

I'm not sure if it's related, but the term "performing strangely" in your
description made me think of it.

Just a thought,
Michele
