Query for muffins produces small number of results when including butter

This query yields several results: /searchComplex?excludeIngredients=carrots&query=morning+glory+muffins
But this gives only one: /recipes/searchComplex?excludeIngredients=carrots&query=morning+glory+muffins&includeIngredients=butter
And plainly there are other recipes that might have been valid to include - by looking at the ingredient list for those that didn’t come back we can find some, e.g.: /recipes/564538/analyzedInstructions
Shouldn’t the inclusion of butter produce at least all the recipes from the first query that have butter as an ingredient?

Finally resolved, thanks again for reporting it.
Thanks! Not urgent. Just writing up issues as I come across them.
Seems like 5 results should be returned. If you use the natural language search (“morning glory muffins with butter” as query) and ignore all the other fields you get better results: https://spoonacular.com/morning+glory+muffins+with+butter
Of course, the way you queried should return the same 5 muffins, not only 3. I will look further into the issue but you can use that workaround above if you need a fix urgently.
I think your interpretation is correct, I’ll investigate.
