How can we enable fuzzy_search ?
e.g.
Copy code
currently it matches "Aida Labmake" name if we search for "Ai" or "La" but not if we search for "ida" or "bmk"
Is it possible to have a
fuzzy_search
?

Fuzzy search refers to typo tolerance. By default, this only kicks-in if the number of results found without typos is lesser than the
typo_tokens_threshold
search parameter (defaults to 1). What you’re referring to - searching in the middle of strings - is called infix search. This has to be enabled by setting
infix: true
for the field in the schema, and then you’d need to send the
infix
parameter as a search param
