Hi All,
Just want to know if typesense support exact match multiple words with space and exclude some words, like:
'type sense' OR 'user name' -online
the above statement means a string contains type sense or user name but not online
is it possible in typesense?

Exact phrase match is support by wrapping the search query in double quotes. You can exclude tokens by prefixing with "-" but we don't have a way to do that OR syntax above.
