Unexpected search behavior

[scoch5]

When I do a search (craft.entries().search(searchQuery).orderBy('score')) the matrix blocks also appear among the search results. I would expect that by default the search would not also include these sections within Craft cms.

This is expected; you can pass the section param to limit the results to only entries of certain sections.

That said, it ought to be easily possible to limit the results to only top-level section entries, without listing out each section. So I’ve just added support for passing '*' to the section param, for Craft 5.2 (0b78955).

{% set query = craft.entries()
  .section('*')
  .search(searchQuery)
  .orderBy('score') %}

Thank you @brandonkelly!

Craft 5.2.0-beta.1 is out with that change.
