HN Search on Algolia says India is more mentioned than China. India has 37,236 results but China has only 15,228.

Interestingly, if I type china I get 15,228 results but then after I hit enter it drops to 8,682. 8,318 if I wrap it in quotes.

Ah, actually, if I leave it for a minute it bounces back up to original number.

This is all very curious behaviour!

Edit it's the same for India too, btw

I observed that it shows results like 'Indie', 'Indians' etc. , when you type 'India', until you press <enter>. On pressing <enter> there is a finality to the search, and it removes other possibilities.
