/marissa

I've noticed some differences in the fuzzy matching from the @neynar user API for example: 

Sometimes when I type in "marissa" as the name I get @marissaposner & other times I get @marissa.  

Here is the query string: `/farcaster/user/search?q=${fname}&viewer_fid=3&limit=5`,

Why does this happen? @rish @manan

you mean the ranking changes or do you mean the user you want is not on the list at all? 

if you always want the exact user as the input, this might be better: https://docs.neynar.com/reference/user-by-username-v1

If you have the FID, that's even better and you can use this:

Yes for the FIDs it is working great but there is an instance where I only have the username. I just tried the user-by-username endpoint and you’re right it works better. Why does the /user/search endpoint not work as well?
