typesense

I managed to get the symbol synonym "+ = plus" to work. Is it possible to make "s21+" match "s21 plus" (notice the whitespace)?

In the latest version of Typesense 0.24, you can set `symbols_to_index` _in the synonym_ to `+` and then setup “s21+” and “s21 plus” as synonyms

I wasn't clear enough. Sorry :slightly_smiling_face:
That part I got working. "S21 +" matches "S21 Plus".
Now I'm wondering if it's possible to get it to match without the whitespace as well? That is probably not related to synonyms or symbols, but maybe some other whitespace related setting?

You mean in general, you want any string `string+` to match `string plus`?

Hmm that won’t be possible to do, because synonyms only kick in when the matched word fully matches and not on partial strings…

May be at indexing time, to every record, you can add another `alternate_names` array field, that stores both [`string+`, `string +`, `string plus`]

and then you can include this field in `query_by`

ok, I'll do that, thank you! and congratulations on 0.24! It's great!
