hi typesense friends, I hope everybody is enjoying their sunday night. quick question for you: assume that i have a 

users

 table with the following attributes: • id • givenName • familyName • fullName fullName can have values with a space such as: 

John Smith

 or 

Bob Bert

. Now i want to query by the full name, meaning my user should be able to query for 

John Smith

The way I want to approach this is by doing the following: 1. add a call back on the server side where anytime 

fullName

 is updated, it will set a new attribute called 

trimmedFullName

 (which will be remove the space): a.

John Smith

 => 

JohnSmith

2. on the client, I will also trim the search parameter and then search against 

trimmedFullName

 instead of 

fullName

Is this the right way to do this? apologies, I jumped the gun and it was an issue on the client side where the presence of the space in the url was not triggering the search… indeed the typesense search works like a charm with the space, i just tested in postman

👋 Yes, this will work but Typesense will prioritise exact matches in the results by default, so you don't have to do any special pre-processing of full name.

Awesome, no worries
