Locale is en_US.

Well, I tried playing with
search_algorithm: exact:1 prefix:0.9

Tried setting prefix:0.01 or prefix:1, but it only changed the number of
documents that were displayed at the top with empty stars, and number of
empty stars.

However, I found the parameter that is really affecting this thing -
it's multimatch_factor. My setting was 10. I tried changing it to 1000
or 5, but with same effect as above. However, when I set it to 1, the
problem dissapears. What strange is that all my test searches included
only one fuzzy keyword, and docs say that multimatch_factor has effect
only when 'OR' method is used for search. Does it automatically expands
'keyword*' to 'keyword1 OR keyword2 OR...' or something?

I found the solution that works for me - just set multimatch_factor to
1. Hope this helps you to debug the code though...

Thanks,
