then inversely, we could match table lamps, but not table?

`query_by` does prefix search on keywords by default. So `ele` will match `elephant` etc. Also `table` will match `table lamps` also because we will pull up all documents that contain the word `table`.

Would setting prefix off for that field help the issue?

What is the exact issue? Give me exact query used and the documents that did not match but you expected to.

```additionalSearchParameters: {      
query_by: "product_cat, pa_material, pa_color, pa_collection, pa_theme, pa_style, post_title", 
sort_by: "_text_match:desc"
},```

I think the term is phrase matching?

I would want product_cat to see that “table lamps” does not match “table”

Try with `"table lamps"` (wrap query in quotes)
