Hi there ! Does anybody know if it is possible to type (example) 10 numbers and focus the search only on the 5 first digits ? So ignore the last 5 ?

Not within Typesense, so you would have to do it on the client-side before sending the query to Typesense. You’d only send the first 5 characters the user types in
