Currently, I find that I have to do this to return better results for typos and exact match. If I enable prefix then exact match normally don’t come back at all. v0.22.0.rcs24

'query_by'  => 'title,title',
'prefix' => 'true,false',

Could you share an example of a search query, expected results, actual results and the search parameters you’re using?

JinW

Let me put something together. Would turn set prefix to false disable typos?

Jason

It shouldn’t…

A good example would be “extracur” for “extracurricular”. If I disable the prefix then it won’t return it.

That’s expected. Turning off prefix search means that you only want full word matches to be returned and not partial prefix matches

I think I found the issue or a hack. When searching for the song Fall in Love (without “in” stop words and prefix=true). It will return anything else with Love except for Fall in Love and I think this may due to the drop token. It works if I just reverse the query string to Love In Fall

Also, does the words order in the query matter?

JinW Would you be able to provide a simple reproduceable example that show cases this issue? For e.g. an example where you can provide me with a few records and a sample query that returns unexpected data?

Also, I fixed an issue related to prefix + dropping of tokens, so you might also want to try using typesense/typesense:0.22.0.rcs40 first which contains that fix.

Thank you, will do. First let me figure out if this issue related to the https://github.com/typesense/typesense-go library or not.

I think there is something wrong with the typesense-go library. The git commit that use [email protected] to generate return the correct search results. While all the latest commits(used opa-codegen > v1.5.0) return really weird results and random highlighted text that not part of the query. I have not tested with recs40 yet. Version > v.1.5.0 changed the c.RequestEditor to c.RequestEditors to handle multiple []RequestEditorFn
