TLDR Jeremy wanted to improve search functionality for phrases like "2x4" vs "2 x 4". Jason suggested enabling the split_join_tokens search parameter.

Hi, is there a proper way to allow for searches of "2x4" to return the same results as "2 x 4"? I tried adding a synonym for "x" and " x ", but I think the whitespace was removed when I create the synonym

~~Could you try adding x to symbols_to_index when creating the collection?~~

Just realized x is not a special character.

You want to enable the split_join_tokens search parameter
