Additionally, i’m looking for some guidance too - I have a document call Pink Sundress when i search for Pink it comes up (as expected) but when i search for it as “pnk” No results are coming up. I’ve tried setting “exhaustive_search” to true as well as changing num_typos

For this you have to decrease min_len_1typo. But I'll caution against doing this because it can produce a lot of false positives also.

Hmm - abit confused here the default num_typos should be 2 right so Pink vs pnk would be 1 typo right ?
k
Yes, but
min_len_1typo
controls the minimum length of a word that will make it eligible for a 1-typo match. Likewise
min_len_2typo
for 2 typo match. Defaults for those two are 4 and 7 respectively.

Ah i understand now thanks
