03/21/2023, 4:55 PMHi again. Is there any way to return a fuzzy match score with results? Something like the levenshtein distance (I think I read somewhere you are using a variation of it) in terms of a value between 0 and 1, etc?

03/21/2023, 4:57 PMWe combine several criteria, including typo tolerance into a single score to rank on

03/21/2023, 4:59 PMWe don’t expose that level of detail… But even if we did expose component scores, it would still be hard to compare these across search engines, because scoring works different

03/21/2023, 4:59 PMoh, I see this is new in the latest version
Udo
03/21/2023, 4:59 PMI only saw text_match before. will take a look what it does show
Udo
03/21/2023, 5:00 PMand yes I know you cannot compare it perfectly, but an approximation is fine for my purposes
Udo
03/21/2023, 5:01 PMby the way text_match_info only shows up in release notes, probably the docs need to be updated
Udo
03/21/2023, 5:01 PMat least the docs search finds only one match
