Troubleshooting Typo Highlighting in Search Queries

TLDR Stefan queried "chews" and "Roche", despite having a typo distance of 4, was highlighted. Kishore Nallan requested to test on v0.20 RC. Random results like "Sachets" and "Lachesca" were also highlighted. On single record query, highlighting works. Kishore Nallan assured to address this issue in the pending release.

Also this is strange, I put num_typos to 2 and Roche is considered a match using the query "chews" (i checked distance is 4)

:thinking_face: Is "Roche" highlighted? Also, please try on v0.20 RC to see if the same behavior exists.

The following improved: matches that contain the query are listed first, but I still get a lot of random results

e.g. Sachets is matched, Lachesca

Can you please create a test collection and index just that record and repeat the query and see if the record is returned?

maybe I am running the wrong version (typesense/typesense:0.20.0.rc44) but the highlighting issue seems to still be there as well

Yes that's still a work in progress. Which is why we haven't yet released 0.20 yet. Some last mile issues left to be addressed.

No worries, if you can help me do a quick test: can you again index just this one record where highlight fails and tell me if the same issue occurs when querying for a single record?

Kishore Nallan
12:43 PM
This will greatly help me frame the test cases which I can then directly fix. In case this turns out to be another edge case different from what I've noticed before.

not sure if I got it correctly, but I deleted the collection, reindex just this one product
12:48
Stefan

Yeah so it only fails when queried with other records. Got it. I will be looking into this for this release.
