Full-Text Search Not Returning Results for Specific Phrases

Hello all, I’ve intentionally added everything to my digital library—it’s all in one library, with no virtual libraries. I currently have almost 100,000 books in it. I’ve been using the full-text search for quite some time, but today I found that something in my library wasn’t searchable via text.

I was searching for a very specific phrase from a specific work, and the search results came up empty. The phrase I was searching for is something exceptionally unique that I know only exists in one work, such as “purple skies at midnight over electric seas.” When I search for it, it doesn’t show up, but when I open the work, I can see it right there.

I’m trying not to stress, but now I’m wondering how often this happens. Is there a limitation with full-text search that I’m not aware of? I’m running the latest version of Calibre on Windows 11.

Has anyone else experienced this issue before? Is there any way to resolve it?

Thank you for your help.
