Description
Hello,
This is a minor problem but I would still like to fix it. When I try to perfom a "complex" search (with the format: "thi is the sentence I'm looking for") with full text search in nextcloud, some irrelevant results appear. It might be important to note that those parasitic results are always the same documents, and that they are the only documents left from when I performed the first index. I guess an easy fix might be to delete them, but I'm worried this might happen again in the future.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the complex full-text search described in the issue and identify why the same documents from the first index remain in the results. Trace the indexing and search behavior that preserves those documents; done means irrelevant results no longer appear and the behavior does not recur after indexing again.
